2026 Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens

Moving this event to Saturday this year. Saturday should be overcast if not drizzling which will provide much needed relief. Bring an umbrella just in case! Event will be cancelled if its hard rain or thunderstorm ---

Come walk the life aquatic at gardens during peak bloom time. We will meet at the visitor's center and take the least populated trail around down towards the Annacostia river to avoid blocking photographers. This is a very popular spot during peak bloom so be prepared by coming early to get parking (overflow parking goes out along the streets which can be a hike). While there is water all around it is full of vegetation so please bring plenty of clean water for your pup to drink. Visitors must follows NPS rules (leashes, pick up poo etc)
