Memorial Day falls on the last Monday of May (this year, it falls on May 30, 2022). It’s a holiday to remember those who fell to defend the United States of America. It’s also the kick-off summertime season for many Americans. Many New Yorkers enjoy their day off since Memorial Day is a national holiday (banks, schools, and government offices are closed), barbecuing and a day at the local park or beach are part of the ritual. Do not worry, most touristic attractions remain open on that day.

There will be several parades:
– In Manhattan: the parade will take place in Inwood, at the crossroads of Broadway and Dyckman Streets.
– In Queens: don’t miss the Little Neck-Douglaston, the biggest parade of New York. It starts at 2.00 pm on Northern Blvd (more info here).
– In Brooklyn: in 2022, it will be the 155th Memorial Day parade. It starts at 11.00 am at the crossroads of 87th St and 3rd Ave.
