The Passaic County Highlands carry a Memorial Day spirit all their own. West Milford marks the holiday not with spectacle, but with sincerity. It’s a community that slows down, comes together, and makes the most of a long weekend in the New Jersey Highlands. That small-town energy is exactly what makes Memorial Day here worth planning around. 4Twenty Somewhere in Hewitt is your neighborhood stop for the occasion.
Places to Visit and Things To Do During Memorial Day Weekend
West Milford’s Memorial Day 2026 traditions run deep and are organized with real community investment. Hewitt, as part of West Milford Township, is part of the same parade and ceremony tradition, with residents gathering around Union Valley Road.
The Wayne Township Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 25, 2026, at 10:00 AM is within easy reach for those who want a larger parade experience before or after the West Milford ceremony. The parade begins at Ramapo Shopping Plaza.
Greenwood Lake is the natural gathering spot for the afternoon. Families and groups use the lakeside for boating, picnicking, and relaxed social time. The lake is about 10 minutes away from 4Twenty Somewhere.
Abram S. Hewitt State Forest offers shaded trails through the Highlands that are particularly appealing in late May when the canopy is fully out. The forest system connects to broader trail networks in the area for those who want a longer morning hike before the afternoon settles into cookout mode.
Long Pond Ironworks State Park, also within West Milford’s reach, is a historic ironworks site with trails that move through wooded terrain alongside Greenwood Lake. A quieter option for a holiday morning.
