Visit DFW: Events 5/22–5/25

 

Memorial Day weekend in DFW mixes meaningful tributes, major nights out, spring festivals, and easy family plans, so this is a strong weekend to feature both Dallas and Fort Worth options in one post.

Honor and heritage

Carry The Load’s Dallas Memorial March includes an 11‑minute memorial march, flag ceremonies, live music, and community programming focused on honoring military heroes over Memorial Day weekend.

National Medal of Honor Museum programming
Fort Worth’s broader event listings and regional Memorial Day coverage point readers toward military‑honor and heritage programming across the weekend, making this a natural companion listing to the Dallas memorial events.

Big nights out

Spring and family fun
