WHEN AND WHERE
Enter through a rainbow and emerge from a bubbly haze into a dreamland
of curiosities. Do some “shadow dancing” in front of an interactive
silhouette wall and transport yourself into a world of wonder as you enter
the brand new Bubble Tunnel.
Encounter enormous “live” Luna Moth creations — some 15 feet tall!
— flittering around for all to see. Check out the underbelly of a giant
centipede as you worm your way through its segmented legs! Navigate a
drawbridge as you cross the River of Light on your way to the Colorwheel
Castle. Squiggle through the Caterpillar Cavern and discover larger-thanlife elements like a colossal praying mantis and a massive mayfly.
Recycled elements serve as eco-friendly building blocks for our
intergalactic flora and friendly woodland creatures. State-of-the-art
illumination highlights these amazing works of art and showcases the
Manor’s gorgeous landscape and specimen trees.
In the hospitality tent, enjoy spring-themed sweets including organic
sorbet from Blue Pig of Croton and homemade candy, baked goods, and
savories from Geordane’s of Irvington.

presentations of drumming and traditional dance, African folktales, and
demonstrations of traditional African instruments and utilitarian wares.
Discover Pinkster! is made possible by
Fire juggling and comedy troupe
extraordinaire A Different Spin,

Featuring seven flame-wielding, fireeating performers twisting and turning,
