Pinkster Celebration

This year’s festival will feature musical performances, participatory dance, arts and crafts, and other activities for all ages.

Once considered a colonial Dutch holiday, Pinkster became an African celebration of family, community, and cultural identity.

Performances include:
- Pinkster Players
- Indigenous reenactor Jennifer Lee
- Image Quilt led by Omonike Akinyemi
- Jordan Taylor Hill demonstrating musical traditions of the African diaspora
- Operation Unite New York

Local vendors will sell their wares, and community groups will share information and resources. Food will be available for purchase from Allie B’s Cozy Kitchen.

Open House tours of Schuyler Mansion will feature special exhibits and personal stories of freedom seekers from Schuyler Mansion, including Diana who sought to escape slavery during the Revolutionary War.
