Join the Bergen County Historical Society as they celebrate Pinkster, the Jersey Dutch Celebration of Spring at Historic New Bridge Landing. The Tricorne Dance Ensemble, under the direction of Denise Piccino, will be dancing around the Maypole at 1:30 pm and 3:30 pm. They will also be performing a collection of 18th century dances throughout the day. Musical accompaniment will be provided by Ridley and Anne Enlsow on the fiddle and hammered dulcimer. At 2:30, the company will invite children to dance with them around the maypole. Those curious about the origins of Pinkster and what life was like at our settlement in colonial days, can join BCHS interpreter Kate Reilly for an open-air talk along the bridge, also at 2:30.
