The Target Memorial Day Sale is LIVE (And Just Plain Fun to Shop)

Yes, there are plenty of great Memorial Day sales out there on the very serious big-ticket things you need to replace (like appliances, mattresses and furniture). And then there’s the Target Memorial Day Sale, which is all about saving more on summer fun and parties. Yes, there are some practical deals, too, on things like sunscreen and groceries.

Before you shop, activate our offer for 2% cash back at Target (yes, this stacks with Target’s Memorial Day deals).

Target’s Memorial Day Sale, also known as Target’s “Hello Summer” sale, kicked off on May 18 and runs through May 26. Plus, you’ll find exclusive 4-day deals from May 23-26. Since Memorial Day is almost here (and you might not have time to wait for shipping), be sure to take advantage of Target store pickup, which lets you snag online deals (and 2% online cash back) but allows you to get your stuff as soon as the same day. If you are a Target 360 member, you can score same-day delivery with no delivery markups as part of your membership perks.

This year, Target’s Memorial Day sale is called “Hello Summer”, bringing a fresh, boardwalk-inspired shopping experience to stores nationwide. The event features over 10,000 new seasonal items, including thousands of exclusives, with most priced under $20.

Shoppers can enjoy major deals like up to 50% off Sun Squad outdoor toys, 40% off women’s dresses, 30% off select men’s clothing, and 20% off Favorite Day treats with Target Circle. From May 23-26, exclusive four-day offers add even more savings, including 40% off sandals for all, 30% off family swim and 20% off all sunscreen.

Yes. Target stays open on Memorial Day (usual hours). In fact, most major retailers stay open, as the Memorial Day weekend is such a major shopping event for deal hunters and last-minute party shoppers alike.

Plenty of things are on sale, and you can shop all deals here. These deals are our editors’ favorites, whether because they’re super fun, or super practical, super discounted (or all of the above). Tip: Most sales are open to everyone, but others are exclusive to Target Circle members.

Sun Squad is Target’s line of pool party and outdoor fun essentials. This line is affordable already, but 50% off doesn’t hurt for getting your summer started. For Memorial Day, everything from beach balls, to bubble solution, to chalk, to yard games is marked down.

When the heat kicks in, there’s nothing easier—or cooler—than throwing on a flowy dress or skirt. Target always nails it with styles that look way more expensive than they are, and with the Hello Summer sale, the deals are so good you’ll have every excuse to stock your closet.

Through May 26, get Favorite Day treats for 20% off; two bags of Frito-Lay party-size chips for $9; 40% off when you buy three 12-pack sodas with Target Circle; and plenty more deals for your backyard party and cooler. S’more essentials (graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate) are on sale as well.

Whether you plan to camp this summer or plan to enjoy the outdoors from your tiny patio, a small table-top grill can give you the summer joy of a cookout in a petite package. Target is offering up to 50% off grills (but we found a Costway Heavy Duty Cast Iron Tabletop Grill marked 63% off) and accessories, and its deals really shine on the small grills, which can easily be taken along for your next beach day or enjoyed on your own balcony. If you prefer a larger grill, those are on sale as well.

Fire pits really bring a party together, and Target’s Memorial Day sale offers savings on large fire pits, as well as little table-top ones. A fire pit can make a party more affordable by making the food more affordable. Just supply some sausages, grill-able veggies and s’more ingredients, and your guests will be thrilled. Some fire pits have removable inserts so that they can double as a drink holder AND a fire pit.

Don’t have the budget to totally revamp your patio? Fun outdoor lighting (unique string lights, lanterns and solar lights) is an affordable way to up the ambiance without spending much.

Durable and decorative, Adirondack chairs are great for fire pit and poolside lounging. Target has one of the better deals we’re seeing on Adirondack chairs this Memorial Day, thanks to this deal, which brings the chairs down to under $70.
