It’s Memorial Day Weekend! That means parades and hotdogs (really big ones). We have music and comedy, genies and roller coasters, cars and racing. And more!
We have a lot of holidays here in the United States that are centered around our military in some way, and sometimes it's hard to keep track of what each one is actually about. Since this weekend is Memorial Day weekend, we decided to clarify things for you...
Will you be traveling this Memorial Day weekend? If so, you will not be alone! AAA predicts that 1.2 million people from Michigan will travel 50 miles or more away from home this weekend. That number would be a 2.5% increase from the 2016 Memorial Day holiday and would be the 5th straight year of growth for Memorial Day travel.

Memorial Day brings a chance to enjoy a long weekend with the unofficial start of summer in West Michigan, but it's important to remember why we have Memorial Day.
This weekend, West Michigan will remember those who died while serving our country.
