'Wine On The Waterfront' Raises A Glass To Washington Crossing Historic Park

WASHINGTON CROSSING, PA — The public is invited to attend Wine on the Waterfront on Saturday, July 26, from 3 to 7 p.m. at 1112 River Road in Washington Crossing.

The highly anticipated event, presented by the Friends of Washington Crossing HIstoric Park, returns for its eighth year, taking place on the scenic banks of the Delaware River and featuring picnic fare paired with wine samples from top local vineyards and live jazz.

Tickets are $17.76 for designated drivers and $45 for general admission with proceeds supporting the park’s programming.

“Wine on the Waterfront is more than just an afternoon of great wine and music — it’s a celebration of community and a vital way to support historical and educational programs at the park,” said Jennifer Martin, executive director of the Friends of Washington Crossing Park. “Every ticket sold helps preserve the culture, history, and stories that make this place special.”

Attendees must be at least 21 to attend. All tickets grant access to a private event area along the Delaware River waterfront next to the historic Hibbs House Kitchen Garden.

Home to a variety of 18th-century flowers, herbs, and plants frequented by native pollinators, it's the ultimate backdrop for a summer picnic. Attendees are invited to set up blankets, chairs, tents, and umbrellas in the grass to savor food brought from home or purchased from on-site vendors.

Returning favorites include Goodnoe Farm Ice Cream and Local Harvest Pizza, while Brenner Board Bliss and Pretty Bird Coffee will make their debut.

Jazz music will be provided by the Keith Chasin Trio, which has performed at the park many times before, plus special guest vocalist and saxophonist, Ravi Seenarine. Led by pianist Keith Chasin, the group showcases Keith’s dynamic style and deep-rooted passion for jazz.

Based in Philadelphia, Chasin has performed at prestigious venues including The Kimmel Center, Birdland, and Lincoln Center, and his work is regularly featured on WRTI 90.1FM. Despite his young age, he has already collaborated with jazz greats such as Jimmy Heath, Joe Lovano, Sean Jones, and Rene Marie, earning a reputation as a rising voice in today’s jazz scene.

General admission tickets include a complimentary wine glass and one ounce wine samples. Bishop Estate, Crossing Vineyards, Cyrenity Sips, Grace Winery, Mount Bethel Farms, Rebel Hive, Sand Castle, and Unionville Vineyards are returning in 2025. They’ll be joined by A’Dello Vineyard & Winery, Blue Mountain Vineyards & Cellars, and J&P, who are new this year.

For the first time, attendees will have the opportunity to purchase cocktails and slushies. Wine will also be available for purchase by the glass, bottle, and case, to enjoy onsite or take home.

Wine on the Waterfront is presented by the Friends of Washington Crossing Park, the nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history of the park and its 500 acres — home to the iconic site where George Washington crossed the Delaware River during the Revolutionary War.

Proceeds from the event support year-round educational programming and traditions like the annual Christmas Day Crossing Reenactment, Memorial Day Ceremony, Independence Day Celebration, and more. The event is generously sponsored by Crown Holdings Incorporated.
