Free days at the U.S. National Parks have been changed to no longer include Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth, just weeks after the Trump administration announced it would be raising fees for visitors who are not American citizens or permanent residents.
June 14, which is both Flag Day and President Trump's birthday, will be included, according to a list shared by the NPS.
Previously, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth were deemed fee-free days by the Biden administration.
Most of the free days are patriotic in nature, including Presidents' Day (February 16), Memorial Day (May 25), Independence Day weekend (July 3-5), Constitution Day (September 17) and Veterans Day (November 11). The 110th birthday of the National Park Service (August 25) and the birthday of President Theodore Roosevelt (October 27), considered the founder of the National Park Service, are also free days.
Those who are not U.S. citizens or residents will still have to pay entrance fees and applicable nonresident fees on those dates, the NPS said.

Flag Day.
Gotta love it. POTUS knows how to troll the left.
Ha ha.
I didn’t expect to see it on the NPS website, but there it is:
June 14: Flag Day/President Trump’s birthday
cool
MLK was a communist pervert.
How many people visit a National Park in the middle of January anyway?
June is "Republicans Freed the Slaves Month".
Needs a national ad campaign.
These people are insufferable.
Bee-yoot-t-full.
I find this annoying and distracting. Not enthused about pardoning the Honduran drug dealer either.

Agreed
I guess we don’t need to celebrate a holiday for MLK since the sex & adultery files were revealed.
And pardoning Henry Cuellar.
Juneteenth June is “Republicans Freed the Slaves Month”. Needs a national ad campaign.
Most, if not all, are free when you buy the old guy pass. Not sure if they’re available anymore. And some Veterans access too IIRC.
“Juneteenth”
I could buy into the idea of the holiday a lot easier if it didn’t have such a ridiculous name.
This is the kind of stuff that makes Trump look really insecure. Flag Day — sure. No problem with that. But the suck ups at the NPS have to add “President Trumps Birthday” to it. Which isn’t even relevant.
This is the kind of stuff thats going to get the Republicans crushed in 2026. Because Republicans will vote in normal numbers, and the Dems and assorted other nut jobs will come flocking to the polls in their “no Kings” rage.
