Looking for the perfect way to say farewell to summer this Labor Day? Look no further than New Orleans.
If you’re already in town Friday, September 4, head to Tipitina’s for the last Free Friday, featuring a performance by native New Orleanian Erica Falls. Then, midday Saturday, shop around the Community Farmers’ Market in the Marigny as the local produce begins transitioning from summer sweets like berries and melon to fall goodies like squash and sweet potatoes.

If you want to maximize the vacation of Labor Day Weekend, catch a tan by the pool, sip on craft cocktails, or treat yourself to a sno-ball. Or, if you prefer to stay out of the sun, explore one of the many museums in the city. Touring The National WWII Museum is a great way to keep inside activity both educational and interesting all day (or even two days!). You can also join in on the annual Labor Day Weekend tradition of Southern Decadence, one of the largest LGBTQ+ events in New Orleans, featuring a weekend of parties, parades, and more. Once the sun starts going down, the evening time is perfect for walking around downtown and sightseeing before settling into a historic bar or seafood restaurant for dinner and a refreshing drink.
