Join us for our annual Riverfest event! There will be open boating on the Poquessing Creek and Delaware River. Explore the water on one of Glen Foerd’s kayaks, canoes, or rowboats! 

On land, enjoy hands-on environmental and arts activities. We are proud to host partner organizations with tables from Riverfront North Partnership, Audubon Mid-Atlantic, The Block Gives Back, The Mobile CPR Project, Companions and Animals for Reform and Equity (CARE), The Autistic Art Coalition of Philadelphia, and Delaware Riverkeeper Network. There will also be an open archery range hosted by the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

Shop local vendors and grab some snacks from 2 Street Sammies food truck. Self-guided tours of our historic mansion will be available throughout the event, along with two guided tours led by our experienced and knowledgeable staff.

During the event, the local Delaware River Yacht Club will be holding sailboat races on the Delaware River. Riverfest offers a perfect vantage point to watch the races, with excellent viewing available from the grounds behind the mansion

Make sure to bring sunscreen, shoes/clothes that you don't mind getting wet and muddy for boating, a blanket or camp chairs for lounging, and anything else you might need to enjoy the outdoors!

This event is free of charge, but please consider selecting a $5, $10, or $15 donation ticket to further support our environmental programs.

The rain date for this event is July 26th.
