Wreaths Across America Family Pass Holder Days: Saturday, Dec. 12 and Sunday, Dec. 13, 2026

Arlington National Cemetery and the Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home National Cemetery will expand this year’s Wreaths Across America Family Pass Holder Day to a two-day weekend event on Saturday, Dec. 12 and Sunday, Dec. 13, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Previously held as a single-day event, the expansion to two full days offers family pass holders greater scheduling flexibility and extended access to place a wreath at their loved ones’ headstone and columbarium niches ahead of the public Wreaths Across America Day on Saturday, Dec. 19, 2026.
A change this year is that family pass holders will need to pick up their wreaths at the Pentagon North Parking lot. This off-site pick-up is designed to streamline vehicle flow and reduce queuing for wreaths at the cemetery gates. Wreaths will be available on a first-come, first-served basis until the supply is exhausted.
Family pass holders should anticipate changes to traffic patterns and access routes in the vicinity of the Pentagon and ANC and are encouraged to plan their routes ahead of time. Additional logistical details will become available over the next month.
