June, the official national holiday since 2021, offers free entry to all national parks and forests.
Admission is free in the national park and this is one of the seven days when the national forest is free for five days.
The holidays celebrate the last American slaves for official release. They were released by union soldiers in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865, and more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.
In Southern California, participating National Park Service locations include Joshua Tree, Death Valley, Channel Islands, Cabrillo National Monument, and Yosemite.
For those who are unable to visit the national park in June, free access will be available for three additional days this year, on August 4th, September 27th and November 11th.
The land managed by the U.S. Forest Service also offers free admission to the last two of these three days.
Other fees such as parking, tours and more will remain applicable.
If Californians prefer to visit state parks, they can enter for free via a pass available to the library, which offers free access to more than 200 parks each day.
