The theme for this year's annual Irvington Folk Festival was "This Land is Your Land," a nod to the recently departed folk music icon Pete Seeger. The words "This machine spreads love around the world" is written around the head of the banjo, a tribute to Seeger's iconic banjo. A downloadable pattern for a stuffed doll with long funny arms and a Velcro on banjo was available through a popular print-to-order online fabric printer.
