Home to the legendary Bucks County Playhouse and acclaimed modern American restaurant Stella of New Hope, the property offers an unforgettable home base for exploring Revolutionary War landmarks, semiquincentennial celebrations, and one of the region’s most charming river towns.
Beginning Friday, July 3, New Hope will celebrate America’s 250th birthday with festive programming spanning the entire Independence Day weekend, featuring a ticketed Revolutionary Pub Crawl, Washington’s Crossing reenactment, live music, theater performances, firework shows, and more.
