In addition to celebrating community, the event honors the legacy of Washington Irving, a longtime parishioner and Sunday School teacher. His pew remains marked in the sanctuary, and ivy grown from cuttings at his home, Sunnyside, continues to thrive on church grounds.
"This festival is a celebration of tradition, generosity, and joy," said Rev. Bill Baker, Rector of Christ Episcopal Church. "We welcome everyone to join us for a day that reflects the spirit of our parish and the heart of Tarrytown."
