    The federal government shutdown does not affect operations at Glen Echo Park. The Park is open, and our arts programs are continuing as usual; however, National Park Service monthly tours are on hold until further notice. Although the Park is located within a treasured National Park, the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture is not federally funded.  

    VISIT THE PARK

    Glen Echo Park is home to a community of artists, educators, dancers, & performers who share their knowledge and expertise with more than 300,000 people each year. There are so many possibilities when you visit the Park!
