Our group is made up of hard-working and fun loving New Hope, PA and Lambertville, NJ business owners,residents and other good spirited people who live in the area.

We have two goals:

• to provide a healthy, invigorating cold-weather experience in
  our river town communities
• to demonstrate that our multi-faceted communities are alive
  and well in the winter months with exciting and diverse activities

We are a non-profit corporation and have selected the New Hope, Lambertville, and Solebury Parks and Recreation Departments as the primary recipients of our proceeds. Winter Festival also benefits other community organizations such as Schools, Fire, Police and Rescue organizations.

Volunteers are needed to join the Winter Festival family to produce Winter Festival 2009. Without new volunteers it will be difficult to “give back” to the twin river town communities at the levels we have in the past. Businesses, schools, public services and everyone benefits from the wonderful experience of Winter Festival.

Supporting Winter Festival can also be accomplished from the sidelines with financial support and donations of services and goods. To volunteer for Winter Festival 2008, e-mail Scott Magill at info@winterfestival.net or call 215-862-5067. The Winter Festival committee meets the first Thursday of each month at 9:30 AM at Lambertville Station Restaurant in Lambertville, NJ.

We wish to thank all of our sponsors and volunteers from both Lambertville and New Hope who come together to make this event possible. We also wish to thank, for their generosity, all those who donate goods and services.
