Labor Day Festival Weekend: August 29 - September 2, 2024

Labor Day Festival Weekend brings some of your favorites, including all sorts of Cultural Festivals, BBQ and Food Fests and more.

Happy Labor Day Weekend, Festival Fans!

You get an extra day to get out and enjoy some festivals, whether some Labor Day Weekend Classics or a new festival in your state or beyond.

This past week, I’ve shared images of the Festival Guides on Facebook so that you could see what’s coming up from September through the end of the year. Through that, I’ve learned that two very popular Labor Day Weekend festivals are the Arden Fair in Wilmington, DE and Shrimp and Petroleum Festival in Morgan City, LA.

And there are many other great festivals to check out throughout all of the states, including…
