What To Do For Memorial Day Weekend 2024 In San Rafael

Falling on the last Monday of May each year, Memorial Day honors those who lost their lives while serving in the military. It's a federal holiday that many people get off from work, resulting in a three-day weekend.

This year, Memorial Day falls on May 27, and for many, this holiday weekend marks the unofficial start of summer. We've rounded up some things to do Memorial Day Weekend in and around San Rafael. Please note: We recommend calling ahead to confirm the hours and access before you head out the door.
