Labor Day weekend marks the slow transition from summer to fall, so you might as well live it up this weekend in a fun and safe way. Whether it’s a evening party, a family friendly weekend at a park or prepping your theater plans, there is something for all of us.
Celebrate the unofficial end of summer at the Promenade at Sunset Walk. Four fun-packed days of live music, entertainment, bands, DJs, street performers, amazing food and more begin Friday. That day features performances by Blue Stone Circle, DJ Rick GZ and other street performers. Saturday, Jason Link, Speed Limit 70 and DJ Lon perform, with a street market, and the Saturday night car show to add to the flavor. Sunday features Thompson-Browne and The Boots. It ends Monday with Tim Hamlin and Stella Beat.
This is an end to the summer not to miss. For more information on the event, visit sunset walk. com.
