What's Closed On Memorial Day In Laguna Niguel and Dana Point

LAGUNA NIGUEL, CA — On Memorial Day, the bustle of daily business will slow down a bit in California as swaths of government offices, banks and businesses close to observe the holiday.

All government offices and schools will also close, courts will not be in session, and the Department of Motor Vehicles will shut down.
