From the Colonial Williamsburg official website:
Free Military Passes for Memorial Day Weekend
During Memorial Day Weekend, May 22-25, active duty military, reservists, retirees, veterans and their families receive free admission passes. Service member need not be present. Passes will be provided to immediate family members of currently deployed troops with appropriate identification. Military veterans who separated before retirement can bring a copy of their honorable discharge paperwork, DD Form 214. Admission passes are available only at Colonial Williamsburg on-site ticket sales windows.Memorial Day
A modern service honors military veterans who died serving their country. A procession with Fife and Drum support will begin at the Palace and proceed to Bruton Parish Church and the French gravesite. Prayers will be given, wreaths will be placed, and musket volleys will be fired at the Palace and churchyard. A brief commemorative service with musket and cannon volleys will take place at the French gravesite.
We absolutely love visiting Williamsburg and the tickets are not cheap. This is a great opportunity to visit for free! The usually offer this over Veteran’s Day too, but the weather is beautiful in VA right now so it is a perfect time to go!
