MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND~~




These Places Are Offering Free Food to Military Over Memorial Day Weekend

May 25, 2017

While Memorial Day now gets celebrated as the unofficial first weekend of summer, it was created to honor those who died while serving in the U.S. military. Many retailers use it as an excuse to launch big sales and special offers meant to thank veterans and active-duty members of the military, as well as free food and big discounts for anyone who has served. (And, at some chains, there are deals for everyone.)

Here's a roundup of all the freebies available over Memorial Day weekend—including several that are available to all, no military ID required.
Friday, May 26

Teavana: Show this invitation on a mobile device from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday at a Teavana store and you can get a free 24-ounce ice tea in a choice of Beach Bellini, Strawberry Daiquiri, or Piña Colada flavors. The offer is open to all customers.
Sunday, May 28

Bareburger: In honor of National Burger Day on May 28, the Bareburger organic restaurant chain is giving out one free burger to each dine-in customer from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Other Free Stuff

Blue Star Museums: The special program, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, grants free admission to roughly 2,000 museums around the country for military families from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekends.
