‘Memorial Day‘ is ALWAYS on the LAST Monday of May.

It can fall between May 25th & May 31st.

So, this year’s May 29 is (still) kind of in the middle.

The last time it fell on May 29 was 6 years ago in 2017.

6 (or 5) year gaps are the norm for this type of repeating holiday given that we have 7 days in a week. So, we essentially cycle through the week. Leap years mess this up & we then get a 11 year gap. That happened prior to 2017. So, the previous May 29 was in 2006. The next one will be in 2028.
