Labor Day Weekend marks the end of summer to most, so make it an easy transition into fall and go out with one last bang. If you're staying around Manhattan, check out some of these local events to celebrate this three day weekend:
NYC Unicycle Festival - FREE
Governors Island
Fri Aug 30 - Sun Sep 1
This wacky one-wheeled weekend rolls into town with a 13-mile ride from City Hall to Coney Island, where a party at Deno’s Wonder Wheel and fireworks honor Brooklyn Unicycle Day (yep, that exists) with a bang. The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus also invites those more comfortable standing on two legs to Governors Island for two full days of races, competitions and exhibitions, a chance to test your skills in a workshop or cheer for teams competing in one-wheeled basketball, hockey and even sumo wrestling. All ages.
Richmond County Fair
Historic Richmond Town (441 Clarke Ave at St. Patricks Pl, Staten Island)
Sat Aug 31 - Mon Sep 2
Grab the fam and head to Historic Richmond Town, a preserved museum-village dating from the late 17th century, for its 34th annual county fair. Three stages of live music, puppetry, dance performances and rides are sure to keep the little ones occupied all day. Plus, check out the Ultimate Air Dogs: These athletic pups perform tricks while jumping off a dock into water, catching mad air (20 feet!) in the process. All ages.
