The river crossing depends on safe weather and river conditions; if it cannot take place, the park posts an update on the event page by 8:00 AM that day.

The 74th annual Christmas Day reenactment marks the 250th anniversary of Washington’s Christmas Night crossing of the Delaware: several hundred reenactors in Continental dress gather by the river, hear General Washington address the troops and board replica Durham boats for New Jersey, with the crossing around 1 pm. Admission is free, but advance registration is required in 2026 because larger-than-normal crowds are expected.
