Need something to do besides having another cookout this Labor Day? I get it—and I’ve got nothing against cookouts, but since we’ve been trying to eat less red meat lately, it’s important to have some burger-free activities for the Big Day.
What’s that? Nobody calls Labor Day “the Big Day?” Hm…
Anyway, if I’ve put together a handy little list with some creative ideas for celebrating Labor Day.
You’re welcome.

4. Plan an at-home spa day!
5. Host a Crash Team Racing tournament.
6. Take on all those tricky-sounding recipes you’ve been saving on Pinterest but haven’t made yet. Or, at least one of them.

8. Buy a bunch of fun fall beers and have a beer tasting!
9. Read all the archives on A Little Adult!
10. Host a board game day with snacks, takeout, and drinks (are you noticing a theme here yet?).
11. Invite over everyone you know who can play a musical instrument, and see how many festive Labor Day carols you can compose together.
12. Order delivery from all the restaurants in your area, do a proper tasting, and see how all the eateries compare to one another.
