It’s never too early to plan a trip to a national park. 

To help you get started, the National Park Service announced six days next year when entrance fees will be waived at all national parks:

• Jan. 15: Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.

• April 20: First day of National Park Week

• June 19: Juneteenth National Independence Day

• Aug. 4: Anniversary of the Great American Outdoors Act

• Sept. 28: National Public Lands Day

• Nov. 11: Veterans Day

Entrance fee waivers on fee-free days do not cover amenity or user fees for activities such as camping, boat launches, transportation, or special tours. 

NPS employees welcomed nearly 312 million visitors to 400 parks nationwide last year. NTEU is proud to represent dedicated NPS employees who take care of treasured sites around the country.
