What's Open, Closed On Memorial Day In North Fulton?

NORTH FULTON COUNTY, GA -- The three-day Memorial Day weekend serves as a time when Americans officially pay our respect to veterans who've made the ultimate sacrifice serving this country. We also use this time to kick back, fire up the grill and enjoy laughs and catch up with our friends and loved ones.

And if you think the men and women responsible for operating non-emergency functions of government won't take advantage of this unofficial start of the summer season, then you were sorely mistaken.

Government offices for Fulton County as well as the cities of Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton, Roswell and Sandy Springs will close on Monday, May 29 in observance of Memorial Day.

Trash service for Alpharetta and Roswell customers will not be impacted by the holiday.

If you want to make a trip to the various branches of the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System, then you will have to wait until Tuesday, as the Alpharetta, East Roswell, Milton, Northeast/Spruill Oaks, Ocee, Roswell and Sandy Springs institutions will also be closed Monday.

The Fulton County School System and the many private schools that cater to this area have closed out their respective 2016-17 school years.

Of course, the Fulton County Department of Public Health and Wellness, along with other county, state and federal offices, won't open due to the holiday. The United States Postal Service won't deliver mail Monday, as it's one of the agency's observed holidays.

Finally, banking institutions will be closed throughout north Fulton, as will Keep North Fulton Beautiful's Recycling Center in Sandy Springs.
