When is Memorial Day?
Memorial Day is moveable: it is always the last Monday of May, creating a three-day weekend that changes date each year.
Memorial Day honours US military personnel who died in service and is widely seen as the unofficial start of summer.
The long weekend is associated with parades, remembrance ceremonies, and the opening of the summer travel season.
Memorial Day observance
Memorial Day began as “Decoration Day” after the Civil War, when communities decorated the graves of fallen soldiers. It became an official federal holiday and, since 1971, has been fixed to the last Monday of May, creating a three-day weekend.
Observances include visiting cemeteries and memorials, flying the flag at half-staff until noon, and a National Moment of Remembrance at 3:00 p.m. local time. The weekend is also widely treated as the unofficial start of summer.
