Chicopee’s Memorial Weekend Events

This year’s Memorial Day observances in Chicopee are and worth planning around.

The city’s Annual Memorial Day Ceremony takes place on Monday, May 25, 2026, at 11:00 AM at Veterans Memorial Plaza on Front Street. This is Chicopee’s primary commemorative event. A public ceremony honoring fallen service members. 

The Springfield Armory National Historic Site at 1 Armory Square, Springfield (about 10 minutes from Chicopee) hosts a Victory Garden Volunteering event on Saturday, May 23, 2026, at 10:00 AM, where participants can help plant a historical garden and learn about wartime rationing.

For adults looking for live music over the weekend, the Tribute Concert: Twice As Hard & City of Alanis covers The Black Crowes and Alanis Morissette. This concert takes place on Saturday, May 23, 2026, at 8:00 PM at View Street Tavern, 92 View Street, Chicopee.

Local Activities and Outdoor Options

Chicopee’s proximity to the Connecticut River and the surrounding Pioneer Valley gives the weekend a natural outdoor component. Chicopee State Park off Burnett Road has trails, picnic areas, and lake access for a low-key Memorial Day afternoon. The Connecticut Riverwalk and Bikeway connects to the broader river walk system and is a walkable route from downtown.

Northampton, about 25 minutes west, and Springfield, only a few miles from Chicopee, both offer dining and activities options for rounding out the weekend.

Your Neighborhood Stop Before the Long Weekend Begins

MAC at 1247 E Main Street is right here in Chicopee. Family-owned, locally rooted, and stocked with the same hand-trimmed, small-batch cannabis you’ve come to count on. 

Before you head out to the ceremony, the garden, or the show, stop in and pick up what you need for the days ahead. The staff knows the menu well and takes the time to match you with something that actually fits. Memorial weekend is a good stretch of time. Make the most of it with product you trust, from a dispensary that’s part of this community year-round.
