Monday, September 2nd is Labor Day! For most Angelenos, that means a three day weekend full of relaxation and fun! While some might want to getaway, I prefer to stay in Los Angeles and get moving to some of the most fun festivals that LA Labor Day has to offer! Take advantage of the long weekend and get moving to some of these great LA Labor Day events!
LA / Long Beach Labor Coalition Labor Day Parade
So what would a LA Labor Day be without going to a LA Labor Day Parade? Usually Labor Day is celebrated to exhibit to the public, the strength, the spirit de corps of the trade and labor organizations with a parade followed by a festival. Keeping in tradition, celebrate their efforts and head to the LA / Long Beach Labor Coalition Labor Day Parade.

Classic movie fans will want to stay for a LA Labor Day as the annual Cinecon 49 Classic Film Festival is back again with five classic golden age movies, collectibles, and celebrity appearances. There have been changes to the schedule this year, so be sure to check their website!
If you’re not much for going out, spend your LA Labor Day relaxing at home. Sometimes it feels good to have a do-nothing day. Spend your LA Labor Day relaxing and resting. Or maybe you’re more of the party type? Throw a LA Labor Day weekend party! Just make sure that it’s eco-friendly by using reusable dishware, serving quick vegetarian food, and utilizing the long summer days to party outdoors.
No matter what you do, I hope you have a fantastic LA Labor Day!
