Winter Festival - Netherlands Carillon

George Washington Memorial Parkway

Special Event
  • Dec 7, 2025 at 1:00 PM
  • Free

Parkway Rangers and the Carillonneurs of the Netherlands Carillon will be hosting a holiday concert to bring together community members to enjoy festive music, learn how to be safe during the winter months, and learn about how animals survive the winter months.

We recommend bringing lawn chairs or blankets to enjoy the performance from the lawns surrounding the Carillon. As an outdoor event, 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.

Fees

This event is free to attend.

Location

Parking is available at the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial, and the Netherlands Carillon is a short walk away.
