This weekend is Washington Crossing Spring Brewfest. This annual event sells out each year and brings together history and beer in a way only possible where Washington crossed the Delaware.
If you live in or around Bucks County, this is one of the big local brew festivals in the area. Despite loving everything this festival represents — craft beer, history, local business — I have never actually attended it — until this year.
The festival takes place on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River in the upper portion of Washington Crossing State Park. I have visited the park for the traditional reenactment of the Christmas Eve crossing and for various other events, but never for this specific one.
The festival serves a few purposes. It doesn’t only serve as an excuse to get together with friends in the middle of a nice spring day, but it also exposes festival-goers to beer and breweries they might never have tried before. Finally, and most important, by attending festivals put on by nonprofits, you’re supporting the mission of educating the community and preserving the colonial character of the park.
Another facet of this specific event I am looking forward to is the re-enactors who attend the event in full colonial garb. I am hoping to grab a photo with George Washington himself while the event is going on!

Mar 28, 2024Cruise Lines Elevate the Onboard Fine-Dining Experience
It’s been a long time since the food on cruise ships resembled the bland, uninspired fare that gave onboard dining a bad name. These days, cruise passengers can look forward to menus created by Michelin-starred chefs made with top-quality ingredients served in stunning spaces. Choices abound as well. In addition to elegant main dining rooms, cruise ships have created a huge array of specialty restaurants that focus not only on perfectly executed traditional European and North American dishes but flavors and experiences from around the globe as well. In fact, meals served aboard cruise vessels have gotten so good, they’re drawing passengers onto ships: According to a recent report by luxury travel planning network Virtuoso, advisors report after Europe (specifically Italy and France), the No. 2 dining destination for travelers is aboard an ocean or river cruise. “This shows how cruise lines have really stepped up their culinary game, with consulting chefs and new restaurants and making that a focal point,” said Misty Belles, vice president, Global Public Relations, Virtuoso.
