St. Louis marks Memorial Day with a mix that reflects the city’s character: structured civic ceremony in the morning, and a community that knows how to settle into a long summer afternoon. The city’s connection to military history runs deep, and the weekend honors that while also functioning as the true launch of the outdoor season. Sunrise Dispensary in Florissant is close by and ready for the long weekend.
Memorial Day Weekend in St. Louis: What’s Happening?
This year’s St. Louis area Memorial Day 2026 calendar has several confirmed events worth knowing about.
The University City Memorial Day Run (in its 52nd annual year!) takes place on Monday, May 25, 2026, at 7:30 AM. The community run attracts participants from across the metro. This year’s three courses are the 5K, 10K, and Family Fun Run.Â
The Jefferson Barracks Memorial Day Good Turn is one of the most significant Memorial Day traditions in the St. Louis region. On Sunday, May 24, at 10:30 AM, thousands of Boy Scouts from the Greater St. Louis Area Council gather at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery to place roughly 280,000 American flags at gravesites. Hosted by the Gravois Trail District, the event includes a formal procession and ceremony.Â
The Battle of St. Louis Day at the Gateway Arch is a historical commemoration at one of the nation’s most important landmarks. The National Park Rangers and living history volunteers bring the story of the British-led attack on St. Louis to life on Saturday, May 23, from 10 AM to 4 PM near the South Reflection Pond. Musket and cannon blank firings are scheduled at the top of each hour from 11 AM to 3 PM.
Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery itself remains one of the most visited sites during the holiday, with wreath-laying, military tributes, and family visits.
Forest Park, one of the largest urban parks in the country, functions as the city’s communal backyard for the holiday weekend. Picnics, walking paths, the Saint Louis Zoo, and the Saint Louis Art Museum all contribute to what amounts to a full day of options within a single destination.
