Memorial Day is observed this year on Monday, May 25; however, the national holiday is celebrated all weekend long, with barbeques, beach trips, and outdoor activities to enjoy the shift toward summer weather. While Memorial Day Weekend looks a little different this year, with social distancing orders still in effect for the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, that doesn’t mean you can’t make the most of the weekend with music, food, and fun that honors Memorial Day.
Here are a handful of patriotic, barbeque-worthy songs to add to your 2020 Memorial Day Weekend playlist as you’re making it:

Brooks & Dunn released their song “Only in America” in 2001, and it continues to be a popular addition to patriotic playlists, especially for Memorial Day weekend.
The chorus’s lyrics celebrate that “Only in America / Dreamin’ in red white and blue / Only in America / Where we dream as big as we want to / We all get a chance / Everybody gets to dance / Only in America.
