Sail in Style with City Cruises Memorial Day Weekend
Memorial Day is a federal holiday celebrated on the last Monday in May to honor fallen United States Military personnel. Originally known as Decoration Day, it became an official federal holiday in 1971. For decades, Memorial Day was observed on May 30, but in 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which established Memorial Day as the last Monday in May to create a three-day holiday weekend for federal employees. Each year Americans observe the holiday by holding family gatherings, participating in parades, and visiting memorials or cemeteries. Cities across the country host Memorial Day parades each year, often involving military members. Some of the largest parades take place in New York, Chicago, and Washington, DC. Wearing red is a tradition that began with World War I in remembrance of fallen soldiers. Since many people have time off from work, they attend barbecues, throw parties, take weekend trips, or head to the beach. When Memorial Day rolls around this year, we should all take some time to reflect and appreciate our fallen heroes. Since it also serves as the unofficial beginning of summer, it’s a great time to head outdoors and soak in all that SoCal has to offer. With City Cruises as your guide, let’s dive into some great options for enjoying the holiday this year.
