Memorial Day is almost here, with all of its celebration and solemnity. Pearl City, HI’s best moving company M. Dyer & Sons supports our troops and wishes to honor the sacrifices they’ve made for this nation and its freedoms, especially those who never came home. At this time, they’d also like to thank their loyal customers and hardworking employees for another year of moving success.

Memorial Day weekend is a time to remember, but it’s also the beginning of summer. Oahu offers plenty of events to commemorate this reflective day. Here are some you’re likely to enjoy, as recommended by the island’s best moving company.

One of Oahu’s most beloved holiday traditions is the Lantern Festival, which is held each Memorial Day. At the Lantern Floating ceremony, thousands of lanterns are sent out on the water at Ala Moana Beach. These lights represent our remembrances of those we have lost, carrying messages and prayers.

Those who love parades won’t want to miss the Memorial Day procession in Honolulu. This year’s parade is on May 27, 2017. You can expect to enjoy all kinds of marching bands, performances, and floats along with the rest of the crowd. It’s a fun way to see military performers in action.

One more event you may want to consider is the 50th State Fair. It opens on Memorial Day weekend at Honolulu’s Aloha Stadium and offers all the classic fair attractions you’d expect, from carnival rides to games to delicious treats. Bring the whole family and get ready for a great time.
