San Diego is a great place to celebrate Memorial Day. We love love love our Military. We honor and cherish those we have lost and those we are lucky enough to have around. We also like having a long weekend to spend relaxing and exploring SD. Spend Memorial Day weekend enjoying time with family and loved ones while doing some of the following activities:
- Go to a museum! It’s fun! Plus if it applies, plenty of museums offer free or discounted admission to anyone in the Military.
- Tell a veteran to go to the Veterans Career Fair aboard the USS Midway on Friday.
- Run the Folds of Honor 5K on Saturday at Liberty Station.
- Enjoy the San Diego Jazz Festival all weekend long.
- Go to the Gaslamp Music and Arts Festival on Saturday.
- Visit the Unconditional Surrender statue by the Bay (take a fun shot like Kristen in the picture above!).
- Check out the San Diego All American Soap Box Derby local race on Saturday.
- Honor veterans at the Veteran’s Wreath Ceremony on the USS Midway on Saturday.
- Go to the 4th Annual American Freedom Festival with Creedence Clearwater Revisited on the USS Midway on Saturday.
- Relax at the beach. Take your pick!
- Party hard with the Sing Dance Crawl Memorial Day event on Saturday.
- Run the Lakeshore Patriot 10K/5K Run-Walk on Saturday at Lake Murray.
- Give blood during the American Red Cross Blood Drive on Sunday at the USS Midway and get free admission to the ship!
