Thurber House Picnic & Fundraiser at Green Lawn

Join us at the Grand Gazebo in Green Lawn Cemetery for this family-friendly event to celebrate the work of one of America’s most beloved humorists (and cemetery resident), James Thurber!

Relax on Green Lawn's majestic grounds and enjoy a delicious picnic dinner from our friends at City Barbeque. Live music, followed by dramatic readings of some of James Thurber’s most famous stories.

Green Lawn's staff will also lead walking tours to the Thurber family gravesite, where our namesake humorist is buried and the iconic statue of Mrs. Thurber’s cantankerous Airedale terrier Muggs.

You may purchase an Event Only Ticket. Or an Event + Dinner Ticket.
