Memorial Day

There’s no better place to spend Memorial Day Weekend than Washington Crossing Historic Park! As we welcome in the beginning of summer, we also take time to honor the soldiers – past and present – who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. We hope to see you at one or more of the events we have planned.

Jazz Concert on the Riverbank

Looking for an excuse to get outside on a beautiful spring evening? The Friends of Washington Crossing Park (PA) is presenting a free outdoor jazz concert. The concert will be held on the banks of the Delaware River near the park’s Visitor Center. Attendees are welcome to bring their own picnic dinner, chairs, and blankets. Alcohol is not permitted in the state park. Four-legged friends are welcome but must be leashed and under control at all times.  No registration is required for this free concert.

Memorial Day Ceremony

Washington Crossing Historic Park will hold its annual Memorial Day ceremony at The Revolutionary War Soldiers Gravesite behind the Thompson Neely House located at 1638 River Rd, New Hope, PA 18938. The observation will include a colonial color guard, fife and drum music, Revolutionary War reenactors, veterans, and other honored guests. American flags will be placed on the graves. The gravesite marks the resting place of soldiers who died during the Continental army’s December 1776 encampment in Bucks County. Captain-Lieutenant Moore is the only veteran buried in this plot whose identity is known.
