Memorial Day Weekend in Arlington, Texas is more than just another long weekend. Pay tribute to our veterans, enjoy live music, catch a game, and spend time with friends and family. Here are some of the best ways to spend Memorial Day in Arlington.
Honor our Veterans
The National Medal of Honor Museum is the only museum in the country dedicated exclusively to America's highest military distinction honors United States Armed Forces Medal of Honor recipients. Through immersive exhibits and personal stories, the museum brings to life the courage, sacrifice, and character of our nation’s heroes.
To honor Memorial Day, the Field of Flags will fill the museum grounds with hundreds of flags, each representing a life given in service. Visitors are welcome to add a name in memory of someone they'd like to honor all weekend long. Inside the museum, the Fallen Comrade Table offers a quiet moment to reflect on those who never returned home.
Live Music
DreamFest is back at the Levitt Pavilion for three nights of free outdoor music, food, and family-friendly fun. This year's headliners:
• May 24: Marcos Orozco with Grupo Pression
Admission is free all three nights — just bring your own lawn chairs or picnic blankets.
Sporting Events
The American Rodeo Championship Weekend returns to Globe Life Field May 22-23, bringing together the best professional rodeo athletes competing for over $3.6 million in prize money like a shot at a $2 million bonus. Midland performs Friday night, and Chris Young takes the stage Saturday.
