May Events 2024
Summer fun

In addition to the events listed above, here are a few other things to keep in mind as you make your plans for May:

  • The weather in May is usually starting to heat up, so be sure to wear sunscreen and stay hydrated if you’re spending time outdoors.
  • Memorial Day is on May 27th this year, so there will be a number of events and ceremonies taking place around town to honor our fallen heroes. Be sure to go here to see more Memorial Day celebrations
  • Many schools will be out of session for the summer break in May, so expect there to be more crowds at popular attractions.

I hope this helps! All the very best for a great start to your summer!
