What’s open and closed in Philly on Memorial Day 2022: Trash pickup, mail, grocery stores, and more

Memorial Day is always the last Monday of May. This year, the federal holiday falls on May 30.

This federal holiday has been in U.S history for centuries, since the end of the Civil War. In 1868, a first version of this commemoration was called Decoration Day because families would decorate the graves of the fallen soldiers. But, it wasn’t until 1971 that Memorial Day actually became a federal holiday. Today, it keeps the essence of remembering those who have laid their life in service of the U.S military.
