Annual Pinkster Festival at Philipsburg Manor, Sleepy Hollow, NY no on-line.
On tonight's edition of Catskills Folk on WIOX 91.3 FM or www.wioxradio.org, host Ginny Scheer will share information about Pinkster, an important African-American festival held in the Hudson Valley as far north as Albany and as far south as New York City, from the 17th century through the early 19th century. These days it is re-enacted every year at Philipsburg Manor in Sleepy Hollow, NY.
Join Ginny as she explores the history, traditions, and folk art associated with Pinkster, explains its unusual name, and tells where you might find a Pinkster Festival this spring.
