Memorial Day Weekend
The highlights of Memorial Day Weekend 2022 are Mardi Gras in May , Memorial Day Luau, Gumball Rally and more.
Memorial day is meant to honor soldiers who died while serving our country in battle. The holiday marks the beginning of summer and we all look forward to honoring the soldiers and enjoying some free time with barbecue, music, parades and fun in the sun.
