High River Conditions Cancel Annual River Crossing

Due to high river conditions after recent rainfall, the river crossing portion of the Christmas Day reenactment will not take place, the park has announced. Ceremonies and speeches will still occur, however the boats will not cross the river.

The 66th annual Christmas Day crossing event on the Delaware River will take place from noon to 3 p.m. at Washington Crossing Historic Park, located at Routes 532 and 32 (River Road) in Washington Crossing.

Washington Crossing Historic Park is a state park and therefore not impacted by the federal government shutdown.

Watch the festivities live here:
