Pinkster School Program

Come to Pinkster Day, a celebration of spring that was brought to the Hudson River Valley by Dutch settlers and adapted by Africans in the New World. Pinkster provided enslaved and free Africans a rare opportunity to celebrate community and preserve and enjoy their African traditions. Classes hear African folk tales and participate in African colonial dancing and African drumming workshops.
