Meet at the arch at Peace Arch State Park to celebrate cross border communities between the U.S. and Canada.

On Saturday June 6th, 2026 from noon - 3pm, join us at the arch to celebrate cross border communities between the U.S. and Canada. 

A Discover Pass is not required for parking at a state park because June 6th is a Discover Pass Free Day! 

Be sure to bring hard copy documentation for your right to return to the American or Canadian side of the border. The RCMP may check Canadians upon their return and Homeland Security may check Americans upon their return.

If you have questions, please call 360-332-8221 or email Peace.Arch@parks.wa.gov
