TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CHANGES NATIONAL PARKS’ FREE-ENTRY SCHEDULE, REMOVING MLK DAY AND JUNETEENTH . (PHOTO).


Trump administration changes national parks’ free-entry schedule, removing MLK Day and Juneteenth 

The Trump administration has revised the schedule for free-entry days at U.S. national parks in 2026, removing Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth while adding President Donald Trump’s birthday, which coincides with Flag Day.

The Department of the Interior, led by Secretary Doug Burgum, announced last month that these 2026 dates will be “resident-only patriotic fee-free days.” Other changes include adding the Fourth of July weekend and President Theodore Roosevelt’s birthday, while removing the Great American Outdoors Act anniversary in August and National Public Lands Day in September.

The full list of 2026 fee-free days includes President’s Day in February, Memorial Day in May, Flag Day/Trump’s birthday in June, Independence Day weekend in July, the 110th birthday of the National Park Service in August, Constitution Day in September, Theodore Roosevelt’s birthday in October, and Veteran’s Day in November. Veteran’s Day has appeared on previous fee-free schedules, while the first day of National Park Week in April, traditionally free, is no longer included.

The new schedule marks a shift from previous announcements, which allowed all visitors to enter for free, with the 2026 notice specifying that the fee-free days will “only apply to US citizens and residents.”

The changes come as part of a broader pattern under the Trump administration of altering federal agencies’ public messaging. Earlier this year, the National Park Service faced criticism for briefly removing content on Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad, while the Defense Department had removed pages highlighting Jackie Robinson’s military service. Both actions were later reversed.
