Memorial Day Entertaining Must-Haves for a Fun Celebration

Memorial Day Entertaining Must-Haves for a Fun Celebration

Memorial Day is just a little over a week away and you know what that means: lots of partying, people gathering, and commemorating those who have bravely served the country and laid their lives for freedom. In the spirit of this year’s Memorial Day, which falls on May 27, Monday, we’re taking a closer look at the U.S. federal holiday and why it’s being celebrated annually. Memorial Day or Decoration Day is observed every fourth Monday of May to honor those who laid their lives in military service. It is one of the three holidays that honor those who have served or continue to serve in the U.S. military, the two other holidays being Veterans Day and Armed Forces Day.

 

The Memorial Day weekend also often marks the beginning of summer, which is why lots of parties and celebrations are held during the long weekend. In preparation for this event, we’ve rounded up some entertaining must-haves for a fun Memorial Day celebration. Check them out below.
