What type of Memorial Day entertainment are you looking for?
Originally called Decoration Day, Memorial Day started as a day to honor soldiers who died fighting in the Civil War. Over the centuries, its purpose has expanded to include remembrance of all who died in any war. While its origins are sketchy, with many states claiming to be the first to devise such a celebration, Waterloo, NY was named as the official starting point of this holiday. Regardless of where it started, we can all continue on with the spirit of the day as we remember those who lost their lives in service through parades, parties and more. |

DJs
The federal government knew what it was doing for once! In 1971, the National Holiday Act declared that Memorial Day Weekend would fall on the last weekend of May. This gave federal workers (and the rest of us) an extra day off each year. That's cause for a party! Search for local DJs all across the U.S. and Canada who can emcee your event.
