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.
Hundreds of reenactors and living historians mark the 250th anniversary of Washington’s crossing of the Delaware with a full day of living history in the Historic Village: fife and drum, artillery and musket demonstrations, speeches and activities for all ages, before boarding replica Durham boats to cross into New Jersey around 1 pm. Sergeant Major of the Army Michael R. Weimer narrates. Admission is $10 for adults and $6 for children 5–11 (under 5 free; family rate $30), and advance registration is required because attendance is capped.
