The event is a fun filled day for the family, no matter what ages! Taking place at the outdoor green spaces of Onderdonk House, a historical Dutch colonial house, it's a double-celebration of Dutch culture and the beginning of spring.
Want to hear some of the highlights?
They include:
- Food trucks and vendors including Dutch treats like stroopwafel, frities with mayo - delicious!
- Interactive arts, circus performances, live painting, hula hooping, face painting, and more - are you ready to get creative?
- A tented Heineken beer garden for the parents
- The Brooklyn Bluegrass Collective playing on Saturday 3pm - 5pm, and J.M.N (a funk blues band) Sunday from 3pm - 5pm. Who has the best moves?
- House of Yes resident DJs from 5pm - 9pm on both days
- Mamas Bazaar artisan market with local vendors
- Lawn games like boccee, cornhole (our favorite!), human foosball and more
- Tours of the Vander-Ende Onderdonk House (say that 5 times quickly!) showcasing their new exhibit on the history of the tulip
Together with a suggested donation of $2 per adult and with a portion of bar sales, funds will be collected to raise awareness and preservation for the Vander Ende-Onderdonk House, an official New York City landmark, and the oldest Dutch Colonial stone house in New York City and a property listed on the National Register of Historic Places as well as the Greater Ridgewood Historical Society, a non-profit organization established in 1975.
