Memorial Day Weekend Events and Activities for 2026
Memorial Day Weekend is often viewed as the first unofficial day of summer, and it's also a time to reflect and remember the men and women who have given their lives in service of our country. Many communities on Long Island host their own Memorial Day parades to commemorate the holiday, and our real estate agents suggest gathering with your neighbors and attending one of the following parades:
