Description
Join us for our annual Rock Creek Park Day - this year over four days - on September 20-21 and 27-28, 2025. This event celebrates the founding of our national park.
Established by Congress on September 27, 1890, Rock Creek Park turns 135 this year!
For the 135th Anniversary, we're having a one-of-a-kind celebration: Punk Rocks!
Punk Rocks! blends DC's legendary punk rock spirit with the park's geologic, cultural, and cosmic stories. Visitors of all ages will discover why nature and green spaces matter - especially in cities like Washington, DC - through hands-on programs, live activies, and creative workshops.
For specific details of what will be offered, visit the official Rock Creek Park Day page.
