Spend Your Labor Day Weekend in Tri-Cities
Just as the summer winds down and before autumn leaves begin to turn golden hues of yellow and orange, the long Labor Day Weekend is your time to celebrate the end of the season and have one last hoorah before fall quickly approaches.
One of the best things about Tri-Cities is that summer sticks around here a little longer than anywhere else in the state. With that seasonal advantage comes a little extra time to enjoy all things to do and celebratory events happening around the area.
Dance Your Way Through the TumbleWeed Music Festival
Featuring over 100 FREE performances, this annual three-day folk festival showcases the talents of local musicians and performers. Hosted along the banks of the Columbia River on Labor Day Weekend, folk fans of all ages are invited to celebrate the end of summer as they sing and dance along to sea chanteys, bluegrass, blues, Celtic music and other spirited acoustic performances along with crafts, food vendors, and workshops.
Check Out a Dust Devils Game
If you want to extend the long weekend, be sure to catch a Dust Devils Game at the Gesa Stadium. This year the Tri-City Dust Devils take on the Spokane Indians on Tuesday through Saturday at 6:30 PM.
Explore Historic Downtown Kennewick’s Art Walk
Kick off Labor Day weekend with Kennewick’s 1st Thursdays Artwalk. Stroll through downtown and enjoy an evening of family friendly entertainment. Local shops pull out all the stops with music, wine, markets and more. Walk between participating galleries, shops, and businesses for this open house event.
Pick up Fresh Produce at the Local Markets
Just about every area in the Tri-Cities region hosts a weekend Farmers Market so you can pick up a variety of local goods, antiques, and treasures from your choice of vendors. Stop by the Historic Downtown Kennewick Farmers Market on Thursdays, the Market at the Parkway on Fridays, Pasco’s Farmers Market on Saturdays, and the Richland 3 Eyed Fish Farmers' Market on Sundays.
