Places You Can't Go on Memorial Day

Because they're closed! But there are some great alternatives.

The following will be closed on Memorial Day: 

  • All schools serving Darien students
  • Post offices

Garbage pickup will be delayed one day.

Luckily, there are all sorts of great places to go to instead, like one of the VFW's Memorial Day Ceremonies.
