Labor Day Weekend 2013 – Live Music, Dancing, Comedy, and More!

Written by Todd Hower | August 30, 2013

Are you ready for a break after the first week of school in the Lake Travis area? It’s almost like the school calendar was planned knowing that you would appreciate a three day weekend after this week. The first Monday in September is Labor Day!

What started out as a holiday to keep union workers from getting angry about the Pullman Strike has become the symbolic end of summer. And that means a three day weekend to barbecue, go shopping for Labor Day sales, and watch college football.

It’s also considered by some the last day of the year when it’s fashionable to wear white. So put on your white leisure suit with dancing shoes and get your three day weekend started! Here are a few things going on in the Lake Travis area.

Live Music and Dancing

The Oasis – the Lake Travis original to watch the sun go down. After the colors fade and it cools down a bit, head over to the Starlight Terrace for dancing.
