Salem History Walk: Qing Ming Festival

  • Salem Pioneer Cemetery 390 Hoyt Street South Salem, OR, 97302 United States (map)

Meet us at the corner of Hoyt St S and Skopil Ave S for a half-hour ramble through Salem Pioneer Cemetery. The walk will culminate at the Chinese funerary table, where Salem's Annual Qing Ming Festival begins at 11. Stay for the ninety-minute celebration or continue to explore the cemetery on your own.

Parking will be available on the main drive in City View Cemetery. Look for us in our neon-green t-shirts, bandanas, and (if necessary) umbrellas.

For more insight on Salem's Chinese historic community, visit the Willamette Heritage Center's special exhibit, Finding Salem's Chinatown(s), open now through May 6.
