Memorial Day 2022: What’s open and what’s closed

“Memorial Day, once known as Decoration Day, has its origins following the Civil War. It doesn’t commemorate a specific event, but was traditionally set in late May because there would be flowers blooming across much of the United States. Since the Uniform Monday Holiday Act went into effect in 1971, Memorial Day has been observed on the last Monday of May.

This year it falls on May 30. While many stores and businesses will be closed, others have modified hours for the holiday.” Check out the details on MassLive.com: https://www.masslive.com/business/2022/05/memorial-day-2022-whats-open-and-whats-closed.html
