Description
Enjoy sweeping views of Washington, D.C. while guest carillonneurs play free concerts of jazz, pop, and patriotic music on the carillon's 53 bells.Join Park Rangers to learn more about the Netherlands Carillon's history, and it's symbolism of friendship. Participate in activities to earn your junior ranger badge!
We recommend bringing lawn chairs or blankets to enjoy the performance from the lawns surrounding the Carillon. As an outdoor event held during summer evenings, guests are encouraged to plan accordingly.
Free parking at the memorial is extremely limited. Several paid parking options are available within walking distance of the Carillon on a first-come, first-served basis. It is recommended that guests use a form of public transportation. The D.C. Metro system, National Mall Circulator Loop bus, and various micromobility services (bicycles, scooters) offer convenient ways to reach the Carillon.
Every day from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. visitors in Arlington Ridge Park hear the chimes from the carillon every 15 minutes. Additionally, every day at 12:00 p.m. a musical medley of the United States armed forces anthems is played and at 6:00 p.m., the Dutch national anthem (Wilhelmus) and the American national anthem (Star-Spangled Banner) are played.
