SUMMARY:Christ Church/San Marcos Annual Fall Fair
DESCRIPTION:Christ Church San Marcos\, the historic Episcopal parish in Tarrytown where Washington Irving once worshipped\, brings back its beloved Fall Fair on October 17\, 2026\, from 10 am to 4 pm — free and open to all. Now in its 187th year\, the fair is one of Sleepy Hollow Country’s longest-running community traditions\, tracing back to a fundraiser held by the church’s Ladies’ Sewing Society in 1839. \nBrowse the Boutique for art\, jewelry\, and collectibles\, hunt for deals in the White Elephant sale\, or go thrifting for vintage finds at the Clothing Closet. Take a break at the International Café for lunch and homemade treats\, then enjoy live music\, and crafts and games for kids — a fun day out for the whole family. Don’t miss a historic tour of the church itself for a glimpse of old Tarrytown. \nA living piece of Sleepy Hollow history: Founded in 1836\, Christ Church grew from a small country church into the gothic-revival landmark that stands today\, and merged with its sister parish\, St. Mark’s\, in 1952. Washington Irving — author of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” — was a devoted parishioner\, serving as vestryman\, warden\, and Sunday School teacher until his death in 1859; his pew is still marked in the sanctuary\, and the ivy on the church walls was cut from his home\, Sunnyside. Today the parish\, led by the Rev. William M. Baker\, continues that spirit of community service: its church hall has housed the Community Food Pantry of Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown since 2009\, and it also runs a Clothing Closet\, the Susan Fund youth scholarship program\, Saturday night concerts\, and the annual Day of Defiant Hope social justice forum. \n\nMake a Day of It \nThe Fall Fair runs 10 AM–4 PM\, so it pairs easily with other free shopping events happening the same day nearby. \n\nTaSH Farmers Market (Tarrytown) — 8:30 AM–1:30 PM\, free.

SUMMARY:Ghost Tours of Tarrytown Music Hall
DESCRIPTION:Join this guided tour created by Master Storyteller Jonathan Kruk and discover the historic lore and spirits that linger at The Tarrytown Music Hall. \nThe Tarrytown Music Hall was built in 1885 during the Millionaire’s Colony Era when mansions dotted the Hudson Valley landscape and families such as the Rockefellers\, Goulds and Vanderbilts gathered at the Music Hall to participate in its lavish balls\, flower shows and concerts. Since then\, the Music Hall has been a reflection of the human spirit\, mirroring the current events of the town and the rest of the world. In addition to Presidents’ speeches\, it has hosted women’s suffrage rallies and endured several wars\, depressions and pandemics including those of 1918 and 2019. It is a vessel through which many people pass. And some don’t leave . . . \nThe building is an official site of the Haunted History Trail of New York. Gotham Paranormal Research Society has investigated the Music Hall several times and has consistently detected paranormal activity including intriguing EVP (electronic voice phenomena) audio files and EMF (electromagnetic field) readings. \nThe 45-minute tour kicks off in the theater lobby and does include climbing stairs and extended periods of standing. Times vary by date. \n2026 Dates: October 3\, 4\, 10\, 11\, 17\, 18. \nMake a night of it\nThe Music Hall’s ghost tours land right in the heart of Halloween in Sleepy Hollow Country. Pair yours with dinner at one of Tarrytown’s restaurants a short walk away\, or check what else is on the Hall’s stage that weekend at Tarrytown Music Hall Performances.

SUMMARY:Myths & Mysteries of The Octagon House
DESCRIPTION:A Halloween-season guided tour at the Armour-Stiner Octagon House\, Irvington\, NY \nFor generations\, the eight-sided Armour-Stiner Octagon House has inspired whispered local legends\, and this fall its guides are opening the door to them. Myths & Mysteries is an hour-long guided tour through the National Historic Landmark that goes beyond architecture and furnishings to explore the strange stories\, unexplained happenings\, and firsthand accounts left behind by the people who once lived there. Along the way\, history and the otherworldly blur together\, and visitors leave with a new sense of just how unusual this Hudson Valley landmark really is. Want a taste of the lore before you go? Read Ghosts of the Octagon House for the stories of the fragrant spirit and the Lady in White. \nThe experience continues after the tour with Remember You Must Die\, an exhibition drawn from Ryan Matthew Cohn’s Memento Mori collection. Spanning ancient artifacts to contemporary pieces\, it looks at how earlier generations faced death through art\, ritual\, remembrance\, and spiritual practice. \nIt’s a fitting stop on any October outing in Sleepy Hollow Country. \nDetails: Tickets are $38 per person and required for every guest. Timed entry varies by day. Because the tour frequently touches on 19th-century illness\, disaster\, and death\, it’s open to ages 12 and up. The route includes three flights of stairs and extended standing\, so it isn’t accessible for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility. Free on-site parking is limited\, so carpooling is encouraged\, and guests should arrive no more than 15 minutes early.

SUMMARY:An Audience with Poe
DESCRIPTION:Sip\, savor\, and shiver with Poe’s darkest tales brought to life through storytelling\, cocktails\, and confections.\nProfessional storytellers bring to life the “powerful graphic effect” that Washington Irving once praised in Edgar Allan Poe’s writing\, with haunting renditions of The Raven\, The Tell-Tale Heart\, The Black Cat\, and The Masque of the Red Death. We pair the tales with complimentary cocktails or mocktails designed to capture the spirit of the stories. \nThe evening begins in the Library at Historic Hudson Valley\, where visitors enjoy their first drink while standing among the shelves\, listening to a creepy tale. From there\, the experience deepens in an intimate theater setting\, with three more of Poe’s dark masterpieces performed in turn\, as those gathered sip drinks and enjoy small treats—indulgences to savor in the night’s shadows. \nOctober 3\, 9\, 11\, 16\, 18\, 23\, 25\, 30\n3\, 5\, 7pm \nOctober 10\, 17\, 24\, 31\n1:30\, 3:30\, 6\, 8pm \nRECOMMENDED FOR AGES 16+ \nAdvance Tickets Only.

SUMMARY:Spirits of Sleepy Hollow Country
DESCRIPTION:Sleepy Hollow has more ghosts than the Horseman. Two illusionists intend to get them talking.\n\n\n\nMark Clearview and Nick Wallace return to Philipsburg Manor this October with an original magic show built around the spirits of Sleepy Hollow Country — not generic stage spooks\, but the local dead. Hulda of Bohemia\, the healer the village called a witch. Major John André\, the British spy caught just down the road in Tarrytown. And the Headless Horseman\, who needs no introduction around here. \n\n\n\nThe premise is that none of them ever left\, and all of them have something to say about it. What follows is an hour’s worth of illusion delivered with real comic timing — a magic show first\, funnier more often than it is frightening\, even as the lights drop and things begin happening that shouldn’t. \n\n\n\nIt runs about 50 minutes with no intermission\, in reserved seats\, and it sells out every year. \n\n\n\nNew for 2026: premium seats ($89) now include a complimentary beer or wine and a snack. \n\n\n\nKnow before you go\n\n\n\n\nWhere: Philipsburg Manor\, 381 North Broadway\, Sleepy Hollow\, NY 10591. Overflow parking at 100 Continental Street.\n\n\n\nWhen: Fridays–Sundays\, October 2–31. Two to four performances a day depending on the date\, from mid-afternoon through 7:30 pm. Check Historic Hudson Valley’s website for exact times.\n\n\n\nRun time: About 50 minutes\, no intermission\n\n\n\nArrive early. Seating is reserved\, the show starts promptly\, and latecomers can’t be seated.\n\n\n\nTickets: Value seating $65\, standard $79\, premium $89. Historic Hudson Valley members save 15%. Advance purchase only\, no tickets sold on site.\n\n\n\nAges: Recommended for 10 and up. Expect dim lighting\, moments of suspense\, and effects designed to startle.\n\n\n\nAccessibility: Accessible seating is available by phone at 914-366-6900.\n\n\n\n\nTickets and full schedule: hudsonvalley.org or 914-366-6900

SUMMARY:The Lady in White
DESCRIPTION:An immersive ghost story tour at the Armour-Stiner Octagon House\, Irvington\, NY \nSome ghost stories are told about a house. This one is performed inside it. In The Lady in White\, guests move through the rooms of the Octagon House as a story written by one of the home’s own residents plays out around them. It’s based on a 1956 tale by Carl Carmer\, the American author and folklorist who lived in the house for thirty years. The story follows a young woman who lost her love when their steamboat went down on the Hudson River\, and whose spirit is said to still wait along its shores. Her mother is part of the story too\, still searching and never learning what became of her daughter. The result is a 75-minute experience that blends local legend\, live storytelling\, and the real rooms where the tale was imagined. \nAfter the performance\, guests can visit Remember You Must Die\, an exhibition drawn from Ryan Matthew Cohn’s Memento Mori collection. With objects ranging from ancient artifacts to contemporary works\, it explores how earlier generations dealt with death through art\, ritual\, remembrance\, and spiritual practice. \nA seasonal favorite at the house\, it’s a fitting stop on any October outing in Sleepy Hollow Country. Once you’ve seen it\, read the full story behind the legend in Ghosts of the Octagon House. \nDetails: Performances run for three weekends\, October 16 through November 1: Fridays and Saturdays (October 16–17\, 23–24\, and 30–31) at 4:00 pm and 5:45 pm\, and Sundays (October 18\, October 25\, and November 1) at 2:30 pm and 4:30 pm. Tickets are $58 per person and required for every guest. Because the tour often touches on 19th-century illness\, disaster\, and death\, it’s open to ages 12 and up. The route includes three flights of stairs and extended standing\, so it isn’t accessible for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility. Free on-site parking is limited\, so carpooling is encouraged\, and guests should arrive no more than 15 minutes early. Book at armourstiner.com. The house is at 45 West Clinton Avenue\, Irvington\, NY.

SUMMARY:Irving’s Legend at Sunnyside
DESCRIPTION:Hear the Legend told on Washington Irving’s own lawn.\nWashington Irving is buried a few miles up the road. Every October\, his most famous story comes back to the house where he spent his last twenty years — performed outdoors\, after dark\, on the grounds of Sunnyside. \nMaster storyteller Jonathan Kruk has been doing this for decades\, and he doesn’t recite the tale so much as inhabit it. He plays all of them: the gangly\, superstitious Ichabod Crane; the coquettish Katrina Van Tassel; swaggering Brom Bones. Jim Keyes supplies live organ music and sound effects\, and a cast of shadowy figures moves at the edge of the lantern light. Then the hoofbeats start. \nThere’s no stage\, no screen\, and no jump-scare gimmickry — just Irving’s nineteenth-century prose\, a good storyteller\, and the sound of the Hudson somewhere below you in the dark. Fifty-five minutes later you’ll understand why this one sells out every single year. \nKnow before you go\n\nWhere: Washington Irving’s Sunnyside\, 3 W Sunnyside Lane\, Irvington\, NY 10533\nWhen: Fridays–Sundays\, October 2–31. Most nights offer two or three performance times between 5 and 9 pm.\nRun time: About 55 minutes\nTickets: From $40; Historic Hudson Valley members save 15%. Advance tickets only — nothing is sold at the gate\, and dates sell out well before Halloween.\nAges: Recommended for 10 and up. It’s family-friendly\, but the period language\, the length\, and the low-light outdoor setting are a lot for younger kids.\nTerrain: Seated outdoor performance with some walking over uneven ground. Dress for a cold night by the river.\n\nTickets and full schedule: hudsonvalley.org or 914-366-6900 \nPresented by Historic Hudson Valley. \nMultiple performances per evening\, see organizer’s website for actual times.

SUMMARY:The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze
DESCRIPTION:More than 7\,000 hand-carved jack o’lanterns light up the riverside grounds of Van Cortlandt Manor.\nTen acres of an 18th-century estate above the Hudson become a half-mile walk past life-sized dinosaurs\, a working carousel\, a planetarium built entirely of glowing gourds\, and the Headless Horseman riding out of the dark. \nArches\, tunnels\, and clearings open up where the pumpkins climb well above head height\, all of it lit in sequence and scored to an original soundtrack\, so the light moves with the music and the walk keeps reintroducing itself around each bend. \nNew for 2026: a longer path with more displays than any previous season\, movie-monster photo ops\, storybook characters carved to look like they’ve stepped off the page\, and a full pumpkin dance party. \nSpooky\, not scary. No jump scares\, no actors chasing you — it works as well for a six-year-old as for the friend who claims they’ve outgrown Halloween. \nTwo ticketed add-ons let you step off the trail midway: the Gourd & Goblet Tavern\, inside the manor’s 18th-century brick tavern\, and the Headless Horseman’s Hideaway\, a pop-up lounge with visits from the Horseman himself. Both must be booked in advance. \nAdvance tickets only — nothing is sold at the gate\, and dates sell out. FLEX tickets get you in on any open night\, even when the calendar is full. \n2026 dates: Select dates\, September 18-November 8. Open every night in October. Entry times vary by date.

SUMMARY:Sleepy Hollow Haunted Hayride
DESCRIPTION:Climb aboard the Sleepy Hollow Haunted Hayride and hold on to your head! All seems well when you board your hay wagon in the brightly lit streets of downtown Sleepy Hollow. The journey begins innocently enough. Rumbling off into the dark you realize too late you are heading down the Albany Post Road\, past the millpond at Philipsburg Manor — the very spot where Ichabod Crane once sauntered with a “bevy” of country damsels in Washington Irving’s tale — and on past the Old Dutch Church\, following exactly Ichabod’s flight from the Headless Horseman. Then you’re through a set of iron gates and the wagon slips into the dark woods of the hollow. Clattering across a wooden bridge\, you start to hear shrieks and the sound of hoofbeats . . . \nOne of the most anticipated events of Sleepy Hollow’s peak October season\, the hayride itself isn’t terribly scary — but the wait in line can be! That’s why there’s a free block party on Beekman Avenue both nights to keep you entertained before your hair-raising ride through the real Sleepy Hollow. If you keep your head\, you’re welcome to come back for more live music\, entertainment\, family activities and vendors! \nTicket sales are online only. Tickets to the Sleepy Hollow Haunted Hayride are timed entry and specific to either Friday or Saturday night. \n2026 dates: October 16 and 17. Block party begins at 5 pm\, hayride begins at 7 pm. \nFor information: https://www.sleepyhollowny.gov\, Village of Sleepy Hollow Recreation Department\, 914-366-5109 \nFor tickets: Secure your spot early!

SUMMARY:Peek-a-Boo (An Immersive Hudson Valley Haunt)
DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand\, River’s Edge Theatre Company and Bethany Arts Community are teaming up for the third year in a row to remount the wildly provocative Peek-a-Boo (An Immersive Hudson Valley Haunt)\, now with new secret scenes to keep patrons coming back for more. \nWritten by Meghan Covington and directed by Jessica Irons\, Peek-A-Boo is inspired by the real Peek-a-Boo flats of Tarrytown\, NY as well as popular historical figures from the Hudson Valley Region. The Peek-a-Boo\, a popular yet controversial club located on Wildey Street in Tarrytown in the early 20th century\, was often criticized by local residents. Yet\, the flats never had a shortage of customers. \nIn this production\, patrons are invited to go back in time to the Peek-a-Boo (Bethany Arts Community) and attend a 1920’s style vaudeville/burlesque show. There they can drink the potions\, delight in the dancers\, and let their senses run wild. Once they are spellbound\, patrons can then follow characters such as Hulda the Witch\, John Andre\, and Sadie the Goat on their journeys throughout the Peek-a-boo\, learning dark secrets and scandalous confessions. Scary storytelling and immersive theatre combine to make this show the perfect Halloween experience for Hudson Valley residents and tourists alike. \n\n\n\n\n\nPatrons should note that this production is intended for mature audiences only.

SUMMARY:Irvington Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy live music\, river views and a laid-back setting at this small-town Sunday market showcasing the best of what the Hudson Valley has to offer. In season\, there’s fresh local produce\, seafood and meats\, cheese\, pickles\, prepared foods and baked goods\, with live music most weeks. \nThe Irvington Farmers Market runs Sunday mornings outdoors on the grounds of the Main Street School\, a short stroll from Washington Irving’s home\, Sunnyside. Look for the life-sized statue of Irving’s character Rip Van Winkle at the southwestern corner of the school property\, facing Main Street. The market sits right on the leafy Old Croton Aqueduct Trail and is an easy walk from the Irvington Metro-North station\, so many shoppers arrive on foot or by bike — see Sleepy Hollow Without a Car for train details. \nRun by Morning Glory Markets\, the outdoor season runs Sundays from spring through late fall. A separate winter market operates indoors on Saturdays in the off-season; check the organizer’s site for this year’s exact dates. \nGetting there: Sunday parking is available on the village streets and in the municipal lot at the top of Main Street. Avoid the permit-only lot across from the Main Street School. \nSundays\, 9 am to 1:30 pm\, rain or shine. Well-behaved dogs are welcome\, provided your pooch is leashed. \nPlanning a fall visit? The Irvington market is the Sunday counterpart to Saturday’s TaSH market in Tarrytown — see how it anchors a low-key morning in A Perfect Fall Day in Sleepy Hollow.
