National Park Service Living Arrowhead

Be a Part of the World’s Largest National Park Service Emblem to Celebrate 100 Years of National Parks!

On August 25, 2016, National Mall and Memorial Parks will assemble more than 1,000 participants into a living version of the National Park Service’s iconic Arrowhead emblem.

Participants are asked to pre-register and assemble on the west side of the Washington Monument at 9 a.m. on August 25. At 10 a.m., the Living Arrowhead will be assembled using brown, green and white umbrellas to create the emblem (so the event will take place rain or shine!).

Once the Arrowhead is formed, an aerial photograph will be taken of the Living Arrowhead and shared with participants on the National Mall and Memorial Parks website and social media pages.

The first 1,000 participants to arrive will receive a t-shirt commemorating their participation in this historic event, as well as get to keep their umbrella.
