Memorial Day weekend across New York City brings remembrance activities, community events, beach reopenings, and outdoor gatherings despite a rainy forecast. A new event, the inaugural Memorial Day Walk by Five Borough Veterans, starts Sunday afternoon at Cadman Plaza Park in Brooklyn and crosses the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan. Participants stop at multiple military memorials, including the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Plaza, the Korean War Memorial, and the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. Neighborhood traditions continue with parades such as Brooklyn’s 159th Memorial Day Parade in Bay Ridge and the 107th Staten Island Memorial Day Parade. Queens hosts multiple parades, including Forest Hills and College Point on Sunday and Little Neck-Douglaston on Monday, with additional Monday parades in Ridgewood and Rockaway Beach. Swimply offers private pool rentals as an alternative to crowded beaches and public pools.
