Come celebrate George Washington’s 293rd birthday on Sunday, February 16 from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Washington Crossing Historic Park (PA)!

During the day, various children’s activities will be offered. At 1:45 PM, we 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. Admission is free.

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.
