The National Park Service’s 103rd birthday is being celebrated on August 25th. Different parks are doing different birthday events.
The National Park Services was created on August 25, 1916, when President Woodrow Wilson signed the National Service Act. Each year, they work with partners to celebrate this anniversary. They are offering this day a Fee-free day which makes national parks accessible to more people. They offer five days in 2019 that are Fee-free, all National Park Service sites that charge an entrance fee will offer free admission to everyone. Mark your calendar for these remaining entrance fee–free dates in 2019:
~August 25: National Park Service Birthday
~September 28: National Public Lands Day
~November 11: Veterans Day
There are more than 400 parks available to everyone, every day. The fee-free days provide a great opportunity to visit a new place or an old favorite, especially one of the national parks that normally charge an entrance fee. The others are free all the time. The entrance fee waiver for fee-free days does not cover amenity or user fees for activities such as camping, boat launches, transportation, or special tours.
