Event Details (U.S. National Park Service)

Music for the holidays, performed by Erik Lichack and Eliza Vincz-Lichack, featuring holiday selections, from colonial times through the 20^th century, with voice, organ, and banjo. This program is co-sponsored by Revolutionary Westchester 250.

We are also pleased to spotlight a living history presentation recalling the holiday festival of St. Nicholas in colonial New York. Drawing on Dutch traditions, the festival called for St. Nicholas to visit homes and distribute sweets and gifts for children, usually left in their shoes, on December 6 -- as long as they had been well-behaved during the proceeding year. St. Paul's living historian Michael Grillo brings the history and fun associated with this grand tradition to life in historic St. Paul's Church in conjunction with the performance of Holiday music. St. Nicholas will be with us from noon to 4 PM.
