What's Open, What's Closed On Memorial Day In Rhode Island

Monday, May 28 is Memorial Day, a national holiday.

NARRAGANSETT, RI — Memorial Day is America's day to honor servicemen and women who have died while serving their country. For many, it's also the unofficial start of summer. But since it's a national holiday, it's important to keep in mind that schools and government offices will be closed on that day. And there's no mail delivery. RIPTA's holiday schedule will be in effect.

Here's a roundup of what's closed (and what will be open) on Monday, May 28.

Open

Most businesses will be open, but it's not a bad idea to call ahead before heading out to a restaurant or shop. Liquor stores in Rhode Island are open. (They're closed in Massachusetts, though.) Some businesses may be offering discounts to veterans or active-duty military, so if you've served, bring your military ID with you.
