Ultimate Party Playlists for the Summer Holidays

Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial kickoff of the summer season, observed the last Monday of each May, followed by July 4th and Labor Day. Growing up in the NYC “Tri-state” area, radio stations would blare their countdowns, swimming lakes and pools would open this weekend, the smell of sausages grilling heavy in the air.

To celebrate and remember the fallen, here are a few playlists from around Spotify for every mood:

• Distinctive July 4th Playlist – The most distinctive songs in 50 United States
• Independence Day – Celebrate with some All-American classics
• 4th of July Party – Get ready for good feels and fireworks!
• Memorial Day BBQ – Classic rock with Chicago, Van Morrison, Cream, and Creedence
• Memorial Day Patriotic – Songs to honor all soldiers
• Road Trip Sing-Along Songs – For traveling to visit family and friends
• Classic Road Trip Songs – Bowie, the Doors, and Smash Mouth
• Family Road Trip – for when little ears are in the mix
