We love Memorial Day. The weather is still the perfect blend between spring and summer.
There is so much to do in Boise, that we have rounded up a few spots to enjoy the holiday at:
2019 Memorial Day Ceremony - Idaho State Veterans Cemetery 10am
The ceremony is held to honor and remember all those who died serving in defense to our Nation as well those who served and are still serving in our armed forces. This year's ceremony will include a wreath presentation by multiple Veteran and Civic Organizations, Aircraft Flyover, support and participation by the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Air Force. Speakers will include representatives from the Governor's office and elected officials.
