This Fourth of July, Hot Springs National Park is throwing a birthday party 250 years in the making!
Hosted in partnership with the Friends of Hot Springs National Park and America’s National Parks, the “Red, White & YOU” celebration starts at 9 AM with an All-American Parade down Bathhouse Row – a community-led march through history where YOU are the main attraction.
Dress as Uncle Sam, a Founding Father or Mother, or rock your best red, white, and blue. Small wagon floats encouraged.
The parade begins at Hill Wheatley Plaza and ends at Arlington Lawn, where the fun continues until 3 PM with the “Red, White and YOU” community picnic. Enjoy hot dogs, burgers, and ice cream from food vendors alongside games, costume contests, and stage performances.
Proceeds benefit the stained-glass ceiling in the Maurice bathhouse. There’s something for everyone because this is a celebration of the people, by the people! Learn more at nps.gov/HOSP or FriendsofHotSpringsNationalPark.org.
