Tulip Festival at the Netherlands Carillon

Join the National Park Service and friends in celebrating Earth Day at the Netherlands Carillon. Each spring, hundreds of tulips bloom in flower beds that surround the carillon. This carillon was a gift from the Dutch people to the United Sates after WWII. It is not only a memorial of friendship and harmony, but it also plays music! Over 53 bells make up the carillon. On April 11 and 12, park rangers and friends will host live music played on the bells, free giveaways, and junior ranger activities for all ages. Bring a lawn chair and picnic on the grounds while you take in the beautiful tulips and the sweeping view of the National Mall. Attendance is free and no registration is required.
