A casual two-hour walking tour through historic Oaklawn Cemetery with real stories of murder and mystery from Tampa's past, guided by Brick Street Tours.
Brick Street Tours is taking a walk through Oaklawn Cemetery on Saturday, October 24, for a two-hour tour called A Not-So-Spooky Tour of Oaklawn Cemetery. It runs from 4 PM to 6 PM, so you'll be out well before dark.
Oaklawn is one of the city's older cemeteries, and the tour winds through its grounds, which serve as the final resting place for Tampa's founders, bootleggers, and even a handful of pirates. Along the way, the stories focus on real accounts of murder and mystery from the city's past, rather than the usual haunt-season tropes. The organizers pitch it as a casual experience built on local legend and folklore, and they make a point of steering clear of fake sorcery or jump scares, so it's more of a history walk than a haunted house.
