Can you think of a better way to celebrate Memorial Day and the beginning of summer than at a super fun concert with all your friends? Yeah, I can’t either. So we compiled a list of all the best Memorial Day concerts happening throughout the weekend just for you.

Lucky for you, the concert is free and open to the public.
