President Trump has removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free-entry days at national parks, while adding his own birthday and other dates.

President Trump did not add his birthday as a free-entry day at national parks. Flag Day was added, not his birthday. It just happens that both fall on the same day.
The Trump administration has changed which days Americans can visit national parks for free next year. Starting in 226, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth will no longer on that list.
Instead, Flag Day (June 14) has been added to the list of what the Department of the Interior calls America-first entry fee policies for 2026. Flag Day is also President Donald Trump’s birthday.
The DOI is also announcing pricing changes to its annual pass. Starting next year, the pass will cost $80 for U.S. residents and $250 for nonresidents.
Nonresidents without an annual pass will pay a $100 per-person fee to enter 11 of the most visited national parks, in addition to the standard entrance fee.
