Join Us to Spread Joy & Connection:
We’re gathering on the National Mall to offer something simple but powerful: free hugs and caring conversations. We invite you to join other compassionate huggers and listeners. Help us make someone's day by offering a moment of connection—a warm hug or a 15-minute conversation where people can feel truly heard.

Wear your Free Hugs shirt if you have one and bring a Free Hug sign if possible (we’ll have extra signs available). If you would like to offer listening too, please bring a folding chair or two. However, all you need to bring is an open heart and a willingness to connect! Together, we can create a space of compassion and joy!

What You Should Know:

• We’ll meet in front of the Smithsonian Castle (aka Smithsonian Institution Building) for easy access to the Metro and visibility.

• Follow all National Park guidelines.

• No one will approach anyone for a hug—allow passersby to come to us.

• This is not an opportunity for you to spread your religious, political, or social views.

• Be mindful of COVID risks and take precautions as needed.

• By participating, you acknowledge Tangé Wellness is not responsible for injury, damage, or loss of property.

Let’s spread some joy and happiness on the National Mall!
