Pinkster Jubilee 2026
2026-05-16 11:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Philipse Manor Hall, 29 Warburton Ave, Yonkers, 10701
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!
Pinkster 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!
For 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.

An American Original
This year, The Armour-Stiner Octagon House in Irvington, New York will commemorate the 250th Anniversary of The United States with a special guided tour: The Octagon House: 1876 Centennial Tour
100 years before it became a wealthy New York City suburb, Westchester County was once a lawless “neutral ground” during the height of the American Revolution. In this one-hour guided tour, visitors will hear a brief history of the 18th Century Odell Farm where The Octagon House now stands.
As we enter The Octagon House, guests experience how New Yorkers of The Gilded Age once celebrated the Nation’s Centennial of 1876. On display throughout the house will be a delightful collection of antique Centennial souvenirs & ephemera. This was a time of great entrepreneurial innovation, design and manufacturing. The Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia was a magnificent display or wares by the finest manufacturers of the era.
Visitors will enjoy the ornate interior of The Octagon House, which is decorated with antique lighting, furniture, & objects – many of which appeared at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition.
