The ceremony will take place at 11 am on Tuesday, September 13, at the Bear Valley Picnic Area at Point Reyes National Seashore. The ceremony has been cancelled for 2022. Check back in summer of 2023 for details about a naturalization ceremony in 2023.

The National Park Service and USCIS recently renewed a formal partnership to enhance citizenship ceremonies by holding them in national parks throughout the country. The agreement helps introduce new citizens to some of the nation's most significant natural resources and cultural heritage sites. These historic and picturesque sites provide an ideal backdrop for citizenship ceremonies, where new citizens can learn about and reflect on American identity and the responsibilities of citizenship.
