Memorial Day Weekend Events in the Triad
Memorial Day weekend is coming up and there is a lot to celebrate and honor! This nation could not be what it is today if it was not for the brave people that have served this country in the armed forces. Here at TMoM, we thought it would be helpful to compile a few of the events in the Triad that are celebrating Memorial Day.
Below, the events are listed by city and surrounding areas. Always check the event website before leaving home, in case of time changes or cancellations.
