Come celebrate George Washington’s 292nd birthday on Sunday, February 18 from 11 AM to 2 PM at Washington Crossing Historic Park (PA)!

During the day, various children’s activities will be offered. At 1:45 PM, visitors will gather in the park’s visitor center to sing happy birthday to George and watch him use his sword to cut his cake, which is donated by The Caketeria in Newtown. Blue Wren Coffee will also be outside selling coffee and a few other snacks. Admission is free, thank you to our event sponsor, NJM Insurance Group!

Children 12 and under are encouraged to bring handmade birthday cards to the party to give to the General. They can also bring their entries for the park’s “Let’s Draw George” drawing contest. Entries can depict George Washington in any medium (pencil, crayon, paint, etc.) or style – creativity is encouraged. Contest entries can also be mailed to: Friends of Washington Crossing Park, 1112 River Road, Washington Crossing, PA 18977. All submissions must be received by Washington’s birthday party on February 19 and include the artist’s name, address, phone number and age on the back.
