A march on Saturday and the annual Rolling to Remember event on Sunday will close several roads over the holiday weekend.

The national cemetery usually hosts thousands for its annual Memorial Day remembrance. This year, ceremonies were closed to the public.

About one million people are expected to flee the region between Thursday and Monday.

Parades, parties, motorcycles, and more.

It was a gorgeous weekend here.

Vince Gray blows what was perhaps his last opportunity to do a cannonball as mayor.

Don’t leave at rush hour tomorrow, you guys!

Good morning, Washington. Hope you’re enjoying your long weekend. For me, this will be the last time I wish you good morning, as I’m stepping down as weekend editor. You DCist commenters made it a good time, but as other things in life take priority (work is busy! hey, I’m getting hitched!) I’ve decided to stop doing this gig. You can always read me on my own blog, and you will be in capable hands with the new team. Now let’s get to the news.

Bonus is that this PBR, beer of hipsters and Rolling Thunder riders alike, manages to look artsy, if not downright pretty, in its ice bath. Enjoy a cold one this weekend, DCist readers, and happy Memorial Day weekend….

Good morning, Washington and happy Memorial Day weekend. This holiday weekend looks to be full of America – Rolling Thunder motorcycles, barbecues, baseball, beaches, and …Sarah Palin? And of course, our patently hot D.C. summer days as we unofficially enter the summer season.
