Idaho communities prepare for Memorial Day ceremonies and weekend events

Communities across Idaho are preparing to honor fallen service members with Memorial Day ceremonies, patriotic observances and family events during Memorial Day weekend.

One commemoration will take place at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery in Boise on Monday, May 25, for the annual Boise Memorial Day Ceremony. The event is scheduled from 10 to 11 a.m. and will recognize military personnel who died while serving the nation.

In northern Idaho, the Hayden Veterans Commission will host two Memorial Day observances. A wreath-laying ceremony is planned for 9:30 a.m. at Honeysuckle Beach, followed by the city’s main ceremony at 11 a.m. at McIntire Family Park.

Boise-area families will also find educational and recreational activities throughout the holiday weekend. Community guides highlight cemetery visits, children’s activities and patriotic gatherings designed to blend remembrance with family participation.

Additional Memorial Day activities are planned throughout the Treasure Valley, including parades and community ceremonies. A regional calendar of events can be viewed HERE.

In Coeur d’Alene, Memorial Day weekend activities will include remembrance ceremonies alongside community fitness events such as a free Memorial Day 5K run and walk. Information on Coeur d’Alene events is available HERE.
