SUMMARY:Pinkster Jubilee 2026
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the Afro-Dutch holiday of Pinkster\, a festival of spring\, family\, culture\, and resistance with live music\, dance\, games\, crafts\, vendors\, history\, & more! Free for everyone! PLUS Pinkster Jubilee 2026 coincides with Yonkers Arts Weekend! \nPinkster is the Dutch name for Pentecost\, a religious holiday and celebration of spring where people took time to travel and visit family. In the New Netherland Colony\, Pinkster was transformed into a unique Afro-Dutch celebration – a week of temporary freedom for enslaved people. Able to travel\, earn money\, and gather in groups\, Pinkster allowed enslaved people to take a break from their endless work\, see separated family members\, preserve and pass on culture to the next generation\, and resist enslavement. Celebrate African culture in America and New York’s unique history! \nFor the fourth year in a row\, Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site celebrates Pinkster with a Jubilee – we’ll feature live music and performances\, free kids’ activities\, crafts\, and games\, and visit vendors specializing in African and African-American gifts\, art\, food\, and more. \nSee the full event schedule and learn more about the history of Pinkster at https://www.philipsemanorhall.com/programs-and-events/pinkster-jubilee-2026
