Honor Memorial Day In Livermore

LIVERMORE, CA — Honor fallen veterans on Memorial Day at Stockmen's Park.

The Memorial Day Remembrance Ceremony starts at 11 a.m.

Livermore Valley Post 7265 VFW will host the event, the city said.

Stockmen’s Park is at 29 South Livermore Avenue.

The holiday, which honors men and women of the military who died in service, was recognized as a holiday in 1971.

On federal holidays, most banks close, and transactions come to a halt. Across the state, Wells Fargo, Chase, Capital One, Bank of America, U.S. Bank and California Bank & Trust will close.

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

In Livermore and across the state, the U.S. Postal Service will not deliver on Memorial Day. UPS will not deliver or pick up on Monday. FedEx services will also likely be closed.

Restaurants and grocery stores will likely remain open to accommodate Californians who have the day off.
