Memorial Day 2021: What's Open, Closed Around Cumming

CUMMING, GA — Monday, May 31 is Memorial Day. In observance of the holiday, most federal, state and local government offices are closed.

There will be no mail delivery. Many businesses are open but with different hours — so it's not a bad idea to check before heading out.

Memorial Day traditions in Cumming date back to 1955. After a cancellation in 2020 due to the pandemic, the City of Cumming Memorial Day Ceremony will return at 11 a.m. on Friday, May 28.

As usual, the event will be held at the Veterans War Memorial, next to the Cumming Police Department at 301 Veterans Memorial Blvd. The city will honor the brave men and women who have served our country during both times of war and peace, and dedicate new flags presented in memory of deceased veterans into the city's Avenue of Flags display. Parking is available in the Castleberry Road parking deck and in the Fairgrounds' Parking Lot No. 3. Leave parking spots at the Cumming Police Department open for the most elderly and immobile attendees.
