Memorial Day Weekend at Cinnamon Shore

We Remember the Reason for this 3-Day Weekend 

It's become a time to kick of summer, falling as it does near school's end. We celebrate the coming season with all the s'mores, the beach time, and swimsuit fun. But at Cinnamon Shore we take time to remember the sacrifices that allow American such freedom and joy.

The holiday began in the wake of the Civil War and has become an official way to honor men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Take Part in Our Tribute to the Fallen

Last summer, we invited the local chapter of the VFW to join us for a Saturday dinner on the North Town Center over Memorial Day weekend. Guests signed a special flag with the names of family members or friends they want to remember who paid the ultimate price to preserve our country and freedoms.

We plan to continue the tradition next summer. Look for more details as the weekend approaches, but plan to be here for a full roster of beach activities and family fun, but also to honor the fallen.

Then on Monday night, in a stirring bonfire ceremony at dusk, the flag was placed in the flames, as families and members of the VFW looked on.

Beach chairs encircled the campfire site, ringed with small U.S. flags. Children stopped throwing footballs and frisbees to watch. Hands covered hearts and service members saluted as the names of the fallen, written on the flag, were read from a podium.

JOIN US FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

Cinnamon Shore makes sure that those who join us for this three-day start to summer have plenty to do, from yoga on the beach and movies under the stars to umbrella rentals and perfect pools to lounge beside. But we also take important time to celebrate and remember the fallen--and to offer a Gulf-side tribute to their memories.

Go ahead and reserve your vacation rental for next summer and join us for this special weekend.
