Description
Join the Parkway in celebrating the National Park Service's Birthday with a special concert at the Netherlands Carillon. Guest carillonneurs will play a variety of music on the carillon's 53 bells, and end with "Happy Birthday".
We recommend bringing 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 for.
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.
