Love national parks? There’s a holiday for that! Join our parks for National Park Week, a nine-day celebration of everything “parks.” Not just about more than 400 national parks nationwide of different shapes, sizes, and types. Also, discover what the National Park Service does through its programs and partners to preserve natural and cultural heritage and provide recreational opportunities in places across the country—and even the world.
National Park Week is happening April 22 to April 30 this year. Entrance fees will be waived on April 22, 2023, to kick off the celebration and to encourage everyone to enjoy their national parks in person. National Park Service parks, programs, and partners will host events and activities all week. Follow National Park Week on social media and join the fun all week using #NationalParkWeek.
What’s “Your Park Story?”
This year’s National Park Week theme is “Your Park Story.” What park place is very special to you?
Ever formed a strong bond with a place or sense of place? This year, the National Park Service is asking its staff and visitors to share “your park story” about your special connections with places in national parks or communities where there are often park programs and partners working. Follow the stories on social media using #YourParkStory and consider sharing your own using #MyParkStory.
Take advantage of the free entrance fees day to visit parks and form a new connection! Visit www.nps.gov for all the details.
