If you’ve been working hard all summer, you are well deserving of a long weekend to sit back and relax before fall and winter arrive. So how do you celebrate Labor Day weekend? Here are a few ideas for the “Last weekend of summer.”

Get Out Of Town

Going on a mini vacation is a great way to spend the holiday weekend. Many Americans will be traveling this weekend, so stay safe and alert, whether you are driving or flying to your destination.

Have A Cookout

Invite your friends and neighbors and cook something delicious as you enjoy your day off. You can make something simple like hamburgers and hotdogs or a little more time-consuming like smoking ribs or pulled pork.

Go Fishing

There is nothing better on a day off than hitting the lake and catching some fish. Beyond having the right equipment and baits to catch fish in your area, make sure you know the rules for where you may be fishing and get the proper licenses.

Go To Work

Unfortunately, some businesses and essential employees will not be able to take Labor Day off. We are so thankful for those workers that keep things running during the holidays.

Sleep In

Celebrate the day off by sleeping in longer than you usually would. Enjoy the extra hours of sleep and recoup for the upcoming workweek.

Spend time with your family

With school and work at full speed, an extra day on the weekend means more time for being with your family this weekend.

Attend A Parade

Cities all over the US celebrate Labor Day with parades! NYC has the most iconic (and the first) Labor Day parade. Check your local events to find a parade near you!

Go shopping

Labor day weekend is known for great sales and is probably the last opportunity to snag some good deals until Black Friday rolls around. You will likely be able to shop in-store and online to take advantage of these deals. Remember to support small businesses and shop their sales as well.

Have a safe and happy Labor Day!
