The last Monday in May is Memorial Day.  This year it will be celebrated on May 30th, 2022. On this day, we honor those who have fallen while serving. Even though this weekend offers many freebies, we should all take the time to pause, remember, commemorate and reflect.

Freebies for Memorial Day in North Carolina were compiled by Offers.com. Restaurants that appreciate their customers want to recognize this special holiday by honoring those who have served. To help them spread the word, we have compiled the best food and drink deals they are offering, including discounts, free treats, and special meals. Check them all out below and thank you again to all who have served our country.
