Posted on August 19, 2021



If Labor Day weekend is the “unofficial” end of summer, then you’ll want to plan a three-day getaway that positively packs in the fun!
Hit the beach, brave a roller coaster, enjoy some live tunes. From thrilling to relaxing, there are plenty of ways to make the long holiday weekend special.

  1. Start the weekend early with a Friday night double-feature under the stars at Holiday Drive-In Movie Theater! Image of popcorn on a drive-in movie screen with cars in the foreground
