Is the week before Memorial Day too early to put up patriotic decor?

[ Edited ]

I was not sure if people waited more towards the 4th of July. And do you leave them up until Labor Day?

Never too early in my opinion. I'm a patriot every day!

No that's a good time, don't forget June 14 is flag day, then the 4the. I personally think everyday is Patriots day.

@panda1234: My flag is up all year, but I put up bunting just before Memorial Day and leave it up through Labor Day. I say you're good.

Pre Memorial Day sales has  tons of patriotic decor and you see it up all at least a week before the holiday.  As long as the outdoor decor stays clean and undamaged all the way thru Labor Day is more than appropriate.

No, it's not too early.  It's okay to leave up.

No, it is not too early, I leave all my patriotic up in memory of the people killed in the 2001 September 11 attacks.

My outdoor bunting and flags always go out the week before Memorial Day. Some years I keep everything up and some years I don't. Sometimes the weather here is too hard on the flags and I take them up and down for  the Summer Holidays.

IMO, it's never too early.

 

If you want to have it up more 'seasonally', then I'd put it out Patriots' Day (April) through Veterans Day (November).
