Please note that although the park address is 7300 MacArthur Blvd., the main parking lot is near 5900 Oxford Rd., Glen Echo, Maryland. Then walk across the bridge to the park.

Washington Revels will kick off the celebration with a festive musical procession throughout the park (11:00 a.m.). Following the parade, all are invited to take part in some joyous dancing around the Maypole.

Join us (rain or shine!) on Saturday, May 2, 2026, for a festival event in celebration of Glen Echo Park's 105-year-old Dentzel carousel as it opens for the season!
In addition to riding the carousel ($2 per ride or $5 for an all-day pass), visitors will enjoy many FREE activities throughout the Park, including performances, hands-on art projects, open studios & galleries, and more! Food options include Praline Café and Money Muscle BBQ food truck, as well as cold treats from Ben & Jerry's and Pacha Mama Juice Co.
