What Does Memorial Day Mean To You?

Memorial Day Weekend is important as we remember those who fought, served and paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. On Memorial Day, we honor our Grandfather, Private George P. Lonneville, who served in WWII as a member of Company A, 9th Armored Battalion, the 6th Division of the 1st Army. He was killed in action December 21, 1944 in the province of Moselle, France. Even though we never met him, our Grandfather has walked with us every day through the voice of our loving Grandmother, Edna Lonneville, who made sure all of her Grandchildren knew their Grandfather.

Western Riviera offers a 25% discount to all active and retired military (ID required) meeting minimum night stay requirements in every month except November when they offer a 50% discount in honor of Veterans Day.

Memorial Day Weekend kicks off our summer season here in Grand Lake with the opening of Trail Ridge Road and the Kauffman House Museum, and Rotary Club of Grand Lake Bingo in the Park every Friday & Saturday night through Labor Day Weekend.

Celebrate Memorial Day and honor our United States Armed Forces in Grand Lake, home to one of the best Memorial Day parades in the state.  From the shores of the largest natural lake in Colorado, watch veterans, service groups, horses, classic cars, locals and more parade down Grand Avenue. There’s always lots of candy!
