Overview
- Federal Memorial Day observances on Monday, May 25 will close the U.S. Postal Service, the Federal Reserve and U.S. markets, leaving most bank branches closed for in‑person business.
- Costco confirmed that all U.S. warehouses will be closed for the holiday while many large retailers and restaurant chains will stay open with variable or reduced hours.
- Major parcel carriers UPS and FedEx will not run regular deliveries on the holiday except for critical services, and AAA projects roughly 45 million holiday travelers with about 87% driving, increasing road congestion.
- Cities have posted parade routes and temporary street closures that will disrupt transit and local traffic, and many municipal offices, libraries and nonessential county services will be closed while emergency services remain available.
- Weather and coastal alerts for heavy rain, flood risk in parts of the South and Northeast, plus sargassum and dangerous rip currents in Florida raise the chance of travel delays, flooded roads and beach hazards over the long weekend.
