Washington Crossing Historic Park

Reenactment of George Washington's Crossing

Wednesday, December 25, 2024

Each December, thousands of people gather on the banks of the Delaware River to watch the reenactment of George Washington’s daring 1776 Christmas night river crossing. During the event, several hundred reenactors in Continental military dress listen to an inspiring speech by General Washington and then row across the river in replica Durham boats.

On Wednesday, December 25th, celebrate the 72nd annual Christmas Day Crossing from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM (actual crossing at 1:00 PM). Arrival by 11:30 AM is recommended to secure a good view. Admission is free, thanks to proceeds from the December 8th Crossing and contributions from many generous donors.
