Memorial Weekend Arizona Style

Memorial Weekend Arizona Style

What are you going to do for Memorial Day?  It's coming up fast - best get your plans in motion! 

For most of us - it's a 3 day weekend!  We all very much look forward to it!

Memorial Day means something different for everyone, so Scottsdale offers a variety of Memorial Day events to please everyone. Memorial Day Services in Scottsdale will be held at 10 in the morning at the war memorial in Civic Center Plaza. The service will feature Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane and Army Col. Marty Park as speakers. During the ceremony, flags will be placed on the graves of veterans and there will be a 21-gun salute.

Those looking to celebrate Memorial Day in a different way should try one of Scottsdale’s Memorial Day Parties on Sunday night. The Chillout at Axis/Radius Club, the Clambake Beach Party at Sandbar Mexican Grill and the City of Angels Fashion Show at Suede all feature DJs and drinks. On Monday, the Princess Resort hosts a Memorial Day Pool Party with hot dogs and hamburgers.

For a balance between a somber and a party-focused Memorial Day weekend, or one that caters to a younger crowd, try the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, the Phoenix Zoo, or the National Geographic Explorers Camp for Kids, which re-opens on Memorial Day Weekend at the Fairmont Scottsdale.

Don't forget about Sedona!  About 2 hours away from Scottsdale and slightly cooler weather with the red rock views and so many outdoor activities!  It's the perfect Memorial weekend getaway!
