Legend Celebration at Washington Irving's Sunnyside

What better way to spend a haunt-filled weekend than at the homestead of Washington Irving, creator of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow?

Filled with colorful characters who will delight revelers of all ages, this daytime festival is a perfect prelude to an evening at Blaze, Horseman’s Hollow, or Irving’s ‘Legend.’ Listen to ghost stories, hear live musicians, and be awed by a bevy of magicians, puppeteers, and a spooky mime scarecrow! Performances take place throughout the day. Take part in old-fashioned games and hands-on activities like make-your-own scarecrow. Enjoy tasty treats and tour the house where Irving lived until his 1859 death. Come in costume!
