Memorial Day 2019: Here's what's open, closed during federal holiday

Memorial Day is coming up soon and since it's a federal holiday, expect a few changes in your day-to-day routine.  

On Memorial Day, we remember and honor people who have died while serving in the U.S. military. 

As with other federal holidays, there's a chance for school and business closures. So, before you start making a list of errands to get done during your extended weekend, checkout what's actually up and running that day. 

When is Memorial Day 2019? 

Memorial Day is on Monday, May 27. 

Will schools be closed on Memorial Day? 

Schools are closed during the federal holiday. 

Will banks be open? 

While many banks still allow access to drive-up or pedestrian accessible ATM machines, most will be closed for the federal holiday. Wells Fargo, M&T Bank, First National Bank, and Fulton Bank will be closed, for example.
