The National Park Service (NPS) announced National Park Week begins with an entrance fee-free day on April 20 and continues through April 28, with special events held throughout the week.
“With countless options of things to do and see, there really is something for everyone in our country’s national parks,” said Chuck Sams, NPS director. “During National Park Week, and throughout the year, I encourage people to discover and enjoy the natural, cultural, historical, and recreational opportunities available in national parks and through National Park Service community programs.”
A trip planning guide, safety tips and detailed information about each national park are available on the NPS site or via the official NPS app. An online calendar of activities provides information about National Park Week happenings. In addition, each day will feature an aspect of the NPS and related people, partners, places and stories. The hashtag on social media is #NationalParkWeek.
