Family-Friendly Labour Day Weekend Fun

 

Labour Day weekend often marks the end of summer and the start of back-to-school. But let’s not forget, it’s still a long weekend. And that means an extra day of adventuring, relaxing, and spending time with the kiddos before stepping fully into September routines. Need a little long weekend inspo? We’ve got you covered.

 

Explore the great outdoors

Labour Day is an ideal time to get active outdoors with the weather typically being bright and sunny but not too hot. Consider packing the car for a quick weekend camping trip or spend the day outside at the lake or park swimming, paddleboarding, hiking, exploring and stargazing.

 

Host a backyard barbecue

A backyard barbecue is a classic Labour Day weekend activity and a great way to bring everyone together for an end of summer celebration. Fire up the grill, put the drinks on ice, and break out all your favourite outdoor games like badminton, frisbee, and horseshoes. Want to take your outdoor experience up a notch? Turn your backyard into a magical movie theatre with a portable projector and white sheet that’s sure to impress your guests.

 

Check out local attractions

With an extra day to relax and explore, the Labour Day weekend is the perfect opportunity to check out local attractions in the community. Try out a new coffee shop or bakery for a sweet treat, hit up a farmers market for fresh produce, or catch some live music or stand-up comedy for a cute date night.

 

Enjoy time at home

Sometimes the best place to be is right at home. Use the Labour Day weekend to catch up on your favourite shows, tackle your to-do list, start a new captivating read, courtesy of Coles, and sleep in as late as you want. Feeling lost in the sea of books?

 

Whether you’re out and about with friends and family or keeping it low key at home solo, we’re sure you’ll have a fabulous long weekend full of fun times and great memories!
