In the heart of the George Washington Memorial Parkway near Arlington Cemetery lies The Netherlands Carillon, a steel tower with open sides in which hang 50 bells. Netherlands Carillon is a gift from the Dutch people as a symbol of Dutch recognition for the American aid both during and post World War II.
The tower is surrounded by lush colorful flower lanes, sculpted lions, and walking paths. The grassy slopes and beautiful shady trees around the carillon are perfect for a picnic, for enjoying wonderful view of the Washington, DC, or for listening to the automated concert that takes place on the carillon every day at noon and at six in the afternoon.
During the summer, there are live concerts at the carillon every Saturday.
