With Labor Day weekend coming up next week, now's the time to start thinking about how you're going to spend one of the last weekends of summer. Starting as a means to celebrate the many movements and advances that have happened over the years for workers and laborers, this holiday has been celebrated for over a hundred years. To help you decide how you'll spend this important holiday, we've come up with a list of our favourite ideas of what you can do this Labor Day 2022 weekend.
Movies On The Beach In Capitola
Head down to Esplanade Park on Capitola Beach with your family around 7:30 (or when the sun goes down) on Friday, September 2nd to see a special screening of Sing 2 while listening to the relaxing sounds of the waves crashing against the shore. And the best part is, it's free!
Head To Watsonville For Some Outdoor Music
Less than half an hour to the west of Santa Cruz is the beautiful California town of Watsonville, where residents can enjoy outdoor music with their Music In The Plaza series. Make a day trip out of it and head down early to explore the many great options for restaurants in the area before heading to the plaza grounds between 6 to 8 PM on Friday, September 2nd.
Roaring Camp Railroads
Take a trip just ten minutes north of Santa Cruz to enjoy plenty of activities and live music in this beautiful family-friendly park. Learn about the history of the railroad in the area with historical reenactments, enjoy activities such as three legged races, tug of war and balloon toss, and enjoy the live music available here beginning on Saturday, September 3 and going until the holiday Monday, September 5.
