Labor Day weekend starts tomorrow, Aug. 30, and we didn’t want to leave you empty handed on things to do over the three-day weekend. So pull up the calendar and start penciling in.
WorldFest 2023
This free festival of cultures kicks off tomorrow and runs through Labor Day on the Belvedere. Don’t miss the Parade of Cultures on Saturday + the Global Village and performances across three stages all weekend long.
Pearl Street Augtoberfest
Head across the bridge for a street festival near the Big Four Station park in Jeffersonville. The end-of-summer celebration starts at 5 p.m. tonight and promises live music, German-style food + beers, and vendor booths. Pro tip: Don’t forget to pack the fold-up chair to have a place to sit.
The Labor Day Weekend Show
Formerly known as “Parrotheads in Paristown,” this annual two-day Jimmy Buffet tribute fest is bringing the salt, salt, salt to Christy’s Garden in Paristown Saturday + Sunday. See 10 bands — including top Jimmy Buffett cover artists Coral Reefer Band Alumni and Trop Rock Royalty — and enjoy plenty of margaritas, of course. Tickets start at $25 for a day pass.
Kentuckiana’s Largest Free Outdoor Vintage Market
It’s a mouthful to say, but go big or go home. The Great Lawn at Waterfront Park will host over 200 vendors selling vintage clothes, antiques, collectibles, repurposed furniture, and more on Saturday beginning at 10 a.m. Bonus: It’s free to attend.
Mayor’s Hike, Bike & Paddle
This long-standing free community event begins at 8 a.m. on Labor Day at Waterfront Park. Choose between a 4-mile hike, a 12-mile bike ride, or a paddle along the Ohio River. The first 2,000 people to arrive get a free T-shirt.
