How the date of Memorial Day is set
Memorial Day is the last Monday of May, so it falls between May 25 and 31. It honours members of the US armed forces who died in service.
It used to be observed on May 30. The Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1968 moved it to the last Monday of May from 1971, giving a three-day weekend.
More on how moving holidays are worked out: why holidays like Easter, Diwali and Eid move every year.
Is Memorial Day a day off?
It is a US federal holiday: offices, banks and the stock market close. It is often seen as the unofficial start of summer.
It is different from Veterans Day on November 11, which honours everyone who served.
Planning around it? The working days in the answer box count Monday to Friday only. Take out any public holidays in between, or use the date calculator to count from another date.

Frequently asked questions
What day of the week is Memorial Day 2027?

Is Memorial Day always the last Monday in May?
Yes, since 1971. In a year when May has five Mondays, it is the fifth one.
Is the post office open on Memorial Day?

Why does the live clock show one day less than the days count?
The days count is calendar days: tomorrow is 1 day away. The clock counts real time to midnight at the start of Memorial Day, so with Memorial Day two days away it shows 1 day and some hours. Both are right; they answer slightly different questions.
