“The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” as you’ve never heard it before
Irving’s ‘Legend’ returns reimagined this fall. Performed outdoors under the stars at Washington Irving’s Sunnyside, master storyteller Jonathan Kruk will cast a spell with dramatic performances of the classic tale. Live music and sound effects by Jim Keyes and an appearance from the Headless Horseman himself make this a spooky spectacular experience for all ages. Come see why people return year after year!
This experience takes place outdoors in the evening and is seated, but also requires some walking.

What's your weather policy?
Irving’s ‘Legend’ is held rain or shine. If you elect not to attend, your tickets are neither refundable nor exchangeable. In poor weather, ticket holders should consult local weather forecasts for their own area and make their own determination about whether to set out for the evening’s event.
An event may be canceled by Historic Hudson Valley if, in its sole judgment, extreme weather or other conditions could jeopardize the safety of visitors, volunteers, and staff. Generally, rain, snow flurries, or showers would not lead us to cancel, but extremely heavy rain, thunder, and lightning, very strong wind; blizzard conditions, heavy icing, or a prediction of such conditions could force us to do so. If Historic Hudson Valley determines that conditions warrant canceling an event, we will post a message on our website and voicemail and ask local radio stations to make an announcement.
Are my tickets refundable?
Tickets are exchangeable to another date/time slot if that date/time has availability, up to 24 hours in advance of your reserved time slot. There is a $2.50 per ticket exchange fee. More information.
Are there restrooms available?
Restrooms are located in the Sunnyside Visitor Center and can be used before or after your Irving’s ‘Legend’ experience.
Is photography allowed?
Photography and video recording are not allowed during the performance.
