Memorial Day Weekend is more than just the unofficial start to summer–it’s a time to honor the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Whether you’re attending a local parade, hosting a backyard BBQ, or escaping for a long weekend getaway, Native Sun is here to help you celebrate responsibly, mindfully, and with the highest-quality cannabis products Massachusetts has to offer.
When Is Memorial Day?
In 2025, Memorial Day falls on Monday, May 26. It’s always observed on the last Monday in May, giving many Americans a three-day weekend. While it’s often seen as a kickoff to summer festivities, it’s important to remember that Memorial Day is a solemn national holiday dedicated to remembering the U.S. military personnel who have died in service to their country.
This long weekend is a time to reflect and recharge–and Native Sun is here to help you do both.
Honoring Memorial Day in Massachusetts
From Boston to the Berkshires, Massachusetts is home to countless Memorial Day events that balance reflection, remembrance, and celebration. Here are a few ways to mark the holiday across the Bay State:
Attend a Local Parade or Ceremony
Many towns–including Sudbury, Watertown, and Boston–host annual parades and memorial services featuring veterans’ organizations, marching bands, and flag tributes. These events are a powerful way to honor fallen heroes and connect with your community.
Visit the Boston Common Flag Garden
Each year, over 37,000 American flags are planted near the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Boston Common–one for every Massachusetts service member who gave their life in the line of duty. It’s a moving tribute that’s well worth the visit.
Explore Massachusetts Outdoors
Take advantage of the long weekend and hit a trail in the Berkshires, walk along the Cape Cod National Seashore, or rent a kayak in Concord. Pair your adventure with a light sativa for a lifted, focused experience.

Whether you’re planning a cookout, chilling at the beach, or enjoying solo relaxation time, Native Sun has the perfect cannabis products to elevate your Memorial Day weekend. Visit our South Boston, Hudson, or North Attleboro locations to explore the best the Commonwealth offers.
For the Cookout
Nothing pairs with grilled burgers and cold drinks like a smooth, slow-burning pre-roll. The Musk #1 pre-roll is a balanced hybrid that brings mellow, sociable vibes–ideal for a backyard BBQ or lakeside cookout. With its smooth draw and easy-sharing format, this single pre-roll is a great addition to your weekend festivities. Pair it with grilled corn, good music, and great company.
If you need a beverage with your meal, consider looking into cannabis beverages. CQ offers a delightful range of 12oz spritzers, each infused with 5mg of THC. These beverages are perfect for those seeking a light and refreshing option. With flavors like Blackberry Lemon Lime, Tangerine Sunrise, and Watermelon Cucumber, they pair great with burgers and grilled veggies.
For dessert, you can’t go wrong with a chocolate edible. If you haven’t yet tried COAST Cannabis Co.’s Cookies & Cream White Chocolate Bar, you’re really missing out. It’s sweet and offers a classic combination of sweet white chocolate and crunchy chocolate cookie bits, delivering a rich and satisfying taste. Its reported effects are feelings of euphoria, relaxation, and upliftment, making it the perfect way to cap off an outdoor gathering with friends and family.
For the Day Trip
Planning a scenic hike, a beach day, or exploring Massachusetts’ beautiful outdoors? The Native Sun Strawberry Cough Disposable Vape is an excellent companion. This sativa-dominant strain is known for its uplifting and energizing effects, making it perfect for daytime adventures. Its portable design ensures convenience, allowing you to enjoy a smooth experience without the need for rolling or packing. Whether you’re trekking through the Berkshires or strolling along the Cape Cod shorelines, this vape can enhance your journey.
For Reflection
While Memorial Day can be a time of celebration and fun, it should also be a time to reflect and honor those who have served and sacrificed for our country. It’s also an opportunity to pause, reflect, and reconnect with oneself.
For deep reflection, we recommend our Kosher Kush pre-roll. Its calming effects make it ideal for an evening of relaxation and introspective thought.
If you’re more into edibles, try Camino Wild Berry “Chill” Gummies. They contain a calming THC:CBD ratio (5 mg THC and 1mg CBD per gummy), enhancing a serene mental state perfect for introspective moments. We also recommend Wyld Marionberry Indica Gummies. They contain 10mg of THC each and provide deep relaxation and mental clarity, perfect for a reflective evening.
