The National Park Service has launched a website that will help you plan your Fourth of July celebration somewhere in the National Park System.

“The Fourth of July is an American tradition and a National Park tradition,” said Dan Wenk, acting Park Service director. “It is a time to come together with family and friends and celebrate the birth of this nation. I invite everyone to celebrate independence this year at a National Park site - many of the events and people that established and helped maintain our Independence as a nation are today commemorated in areas managed by the National Park Service. Come visit us and have a safe and happy Fourth of July.”

The new website will help you find information on many special programs taking place on and around the Fourth of July at National Park Service sites throughout the country.
