National parks add Trump's birthday to list of fee-free days and remove MLK Day, Juneteenth
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.
