ACTIVITIES
Board A Real Steamboat
At the End of the Road behind the Inn at Lambertville Station
Located at the boat launch ramp. Weather permitting, take an actual ride on the river.

Watch the Shad Hauling on Lewis Island
On the bank of the Delaware, right off Lambert Lane
Join the fishermen on Saturday and Sunday at 1 pm as they show Shad Festival visitors the seine technique (using large nets), originally taught to early settlers by the Native Americans. Many thanks to the Lewis family for continuing to do these wonderful demonstrations!

Canoe Building Demonstration
At the DesChamps Gallery, located at 7 Lambert Lane.
Both festival days, 12-5 each day. Join in the fun building and painting an elegant little solo-type canoe. Originally popularized in the mid-1800s, we will be working on a similar version updated with glued-lapstrake plywood construction. These small lightweight canoes are enjoying a re-discovery or quiet revival today. Besides their place in paddling history, they served as subject material for Monet, Renoir and the well-known western artists, Frederick Remington. Still today, the graceful lines of a well-designed traditional boat or canoe will captivate the imagination of artists like Andrew Wyeth and Thomas Aquinas Daly. Stop by and see why!

Carriage Rides
By the Lambertville Station Restaurant, Bridge St.
Bucks County Carriages will take you back to another era! Enjoy Lambertville in the fashion of a Victorian lady or gentleman as you take a twenty-minute guided tour of the historic city in a horse-drawn carriage. (fee)

Kid’s Bazaar
N. Union Street Parking Lot
Get your popcorn, cotton candy and get ready to create some sand art and candles!
Get a temporary tattoo, your face painted and create your own clothing designs! And for kids of all ages, pick up a yo-yo!

Walking Tours
Starting from The Marshall House, 62 Bridge St.
Both festival days, 1 and 3 pm. The 1816 house, now a museum, was the home of James Marshall, who headed America’s Gold Rush. Sign up for the hour-long tour and be guided around Lambertville by a member of the Lambertville Historical Society.

Learn How To Keep the Delaware Clean
On Lewis Island, off Lambert Lane
The Delaware River Basin Commission will show you how to analyze water quality and they’ll show you how you can do this at home.
