Historic Christ Church San Marcos to hold annual Fall Fair

Christ Episcopal Church San Marcos Announces 186th Annual Fall Fair & Festival in Tarrytown

TARRYTOWN, NY — Christ Episcopal Church San Marcos is proud to host its 186th Annual Fall Fair & Festival on Saturday, October 18, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at its historic campus in Tarrytown.

This beloved community tradition promises a full day of family-friendly fun, entertainment, and local engagement. Attendees can enjoy live performances from a roaming magician, shop for vintage fashion, jewelry, toys, and more, and indulge in delicious offerings from the International Café, including burgers, hot dogs, and homemade treats.

Children will delight in crafts, games, and interactive activities, while adults can explore the boutique, featuring jewelry, artwork, and collectibles, as well as the White Elephant bargain section with surprises such as sports gear and electronics.

The Fall Fair & Festival also highlights Christ Episcopal Church’s longstanding commitment to community service. Proceeds support vital programs, including the Community Food Pantry of Sleepy Hollow, the Clothing Closet, youth scholarships, Saturday night concerts, the annual chili cook-off, and the Day of Defiant Hope social justice forum.

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."
