National Road Trip Day kicks off summer travel season
JOPLIN, Mo. (KSNF) — On the Friday before Memorial Day, drivers from across America come together to celebrate National Road Trip Day.
Memorial Day — a time to honor our fallen veterans — is also considered the unofficial kickoff of the summer travel season, with more than 38 million Americans expected to hit the road over the long weekend, visiting friends and family while paying tribute to our American heroes.
National Road Trip Day was conceived by Pilot Flying J — the largest travel center operator in North America — and it was officially declared as such in 2019.
