The 5 Most Popular Activities for Labor Day Weekend

By Peerform · On August 25, 2021


Sometimes a long weekend appears on the calendar, and you realize you haven’t made plans. Suddenly, you’re at risk of letting a holiday slip by without doing something to mark the occasion.

Labor Day is a uniquely special long weekend since it’s the last holiday of the summer, and you shouldn’t let it go to waste.

Read on as this blog dives into the 5 most popular activities for Labor Day weekend the whole family will love.

1. Go On a Family Bike Ride

Whether you want to enjoy the quaintness of the morning or a gorgeous evening sunset, a family bicycle ride might fit the bill.

There are likely nearby cycling trails you haven’t explored, and discovering a new spot makes for a memorable vacation.

Do you not have enough bicycles for the whole family? Then research local bike rental shops–they’ll also give you information on nearby routes.

2. Take the Family on a Road Trip

A popular choice for many families on the long weekend is hitting the open road and going on a little mini trip.

Since you’re bringing the kids along, involve them in the trip planning process to get them invested and excited.

Furthermore, be sure to research how to have a successful road trip with your family. A little due diligence will ensure you honor this Labor Day tradition without hearing “are we there yet!” from the kids in the backseat 450 times.

3. Turn On Your Sprinkler

Labor Day might be the last long weekend of the summer, but you’re not yet dealing with a crisp autumn breeze. It’s still hot, and a cold splash in the blazing sun is always welcome.

A budget-friendly way to cool everyone off is setting up the sprinkler. Of course, this will be most enjoyed by children. But their happiness is your happiness.

You might believe this activity is a bit too basic, but that’s the magic of it. Think about when you were a kid and all the fun you had on Labor Day running in the sprinkler. It’s one of life’s simple pleasures.

4. Have a BBQ

Whether you want to invite the neighbors or keep it strictly to family and close friends, you’ll never go wrong with a Labor Day BBQ.

You could stick to the standards, of course–hot dogs, hamburgers, and some tried-and-true potato salad.

Or, you could make the experience one-of-a-kind with some more elevated dishes, such as chicken kabobs or grilled shrimp.

5. Spice Up Happy Hour

Labor Day and cold beverages go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Make things really interesting with amped-up adult beverages, like a red sangria. Though a cold beer would likely do just fine.

Don’t leave the children out of this experience–you can also make some kid-friendly drinks, like a virgin daiquiri or Shirly Temple, for instance. What matters most is you spend Happy Hour together!

These are 5 of the most popular activities for Labor Day weekend–and for a good reason. You’ll be sure to enjoy the holiday if you follow any of this article’s suggestions.
