Camping Under the Stars
Camping is a quintessential Memorial Day activity. Whether you're in a tent, RV or under the open sky, it’s the perfect opportunity to connect with nature and spend some quality time with friends and family. Stay cozy when the temperatures drop with a comfy fleece and warm beanie, and don’t forget the marshmallows for s’mores!
Picnic in the Park
A Memorial Day picnic is a timeless tradition for enjoying delicious food and wonderful company. Find a nearby park, bring a blanket, pack a basket with your favorite treats, then add some red, white and blue decorations to honor the holiday. To stay cool, opt for a temperature-regulating tee and pair it with comfortable pants featuring four-way stretch, ideal for spontaneous frisbee matches and easy movement.
Backyard BBQ Bash
If a low-key celebration is more your speed, a backyard BBQ is the way to go. Fire up the grill, invite your neighbors and indulge in some mouthwatering food, refreshing drinks and entertaining games. Keep your attire laid-back with a playful graphic T-shirt or a light button-up shirt worn with sweat-wicking shorts. Top off your outfit with a classic cap featuring a patriotic touch: our breathable cotton design boasts a woven American flag emblem on the front, adding a festive flair to the occasion.
