Labor Day 2016 in New York

Labor Day 2016 in Los Angeles

There is so much to do in Los Angeles, Calif. for Labor Day 2016 and unlike New Yorkers, summer treats Angelenos with better weather.

For a low-key family event, you can go fishing in the L.A. River on Monday. The L.A. River Fish Derby named “Off Tha’ Hook” is a FREE event so no need to worry about fishing licensing on Labor Day. For $35, you can compete with other fishers in the FoLAR’s Catch and Release competition.

Labor Day 2016 in Washington DC

What about heading to the Nation’s Capital for Labor Day 2016? You might like watching the Washington Nationals bat against the Atlanta Braves on Monday at 4:05 p.m. EST. Or head to Georgetown to rent a bike or boat for a ride along the Canal National Historical Park or Key Bridge Boathouse.

And there is nothing like learning the history of Labor Day with a visit to the National Museum of American History and taking an interactive tour of the American Enterprise exhibit.
