Best Labor Day Parties, Concerts, Festivals & Things To Do in Santa Monica

Santa Monica fills a long weekend without much effort, and Labor Day is when most of it happens at once.

Families can build an afternoon around a food festival or head outdoors and let the kids run off the day. Want the long weekend to feel like an actual escape? A getaway outside the city does the job.
