Labor Day is observed in the U.S. on every first Monday in September as a day to recognize the contributions of American workers of all industries to the U.S. economy. It is also meant to give workers a well-earned day off to relax at home or to get out for recreation. Take a trip to the beach, plan a quick family reunion, go on a camping trip to a national park, or a romantic getaway.
Some of the top places that you can visit this labor day are as follows:
1. Philadelphia
There are tons of fun events going down in the city of brotherly love, including the Made in America Music Festival (Sept 3–4) curated by Jay Z. If you want to spend some time outside, check out the last weekend of Blue Cross RiverRink SummerFest, where you can roller skate and play mini golf by the water. Start up a rousing game of ping pong,jumbo-sized chess or shuffleboard at the gorgeous oasis.
2. Newport
If you’re craving seafood, Rode Island has some pretty incredible clam shacks and lobster roll joints along the water.

3. New York
