Wright Brothers National Memorial, in partnership with the First Flight Society, will celebrate National Aviation Day on Aug. 19, at the park and the Dare County Regional Airport.

In addition to free entrance for the day and ranger-led educational programs, the park will stay open late for a special viewing of Disney’s “Up” on the lawn of the visitor center.

National Aviation Day, celebrated annually on Aug. 19, was established in 1939 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to honor the development of aviation and the birthday of Orville Wright.
