To celebrate the National Park Service Centennial year, join the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal (C&O Canal) National Historical Park to commemorate a century of campfire programs with the National Park Service. Sing songs and listen to stories from across America’s National Parks as well as night-time themed canal stories.
Campfires will take place at the Great Falls Tavern, located at 11710 MacArthur Boulevard in Potomac.
The program will be held on Friday, Aug. 12 from 8-9 pm. The event is free and open to the public, however, the Great Falls Tavern historic area has a entrance fee of $10 per vehicle. The makings for s'mores will be provided for guests as long as they last, but visitors should bring folding chairs in order to enjoy the campfire along the canal. The programs are designed as fun for all ages.
Parking for Great Falls can be found at the Great Falls Tavern parking lot.
