Celebrate the beginning of the fall season with one of these Labor Day weekend activities. I know, I know. It is not the official first day of fall, but for me Labor Day has always marked a changing of the seasons as we make the transition from summer activities to our fall favorites.
This year, events and activities will look a little different over the holiday weekend. I’ve gathered a list of fun happenings with social distancing in mind. This list is broken up into suggested activities you may enjoy and planned events that are happening over Labor Day weekend.
If you’re hanging around the city on this three-day weekend, consider checking out one of these Labor Day weekend events and activities.
Labor Day Weekend Activities
Visit a Pumpkin Patch
The fall harvest is happening at farm across the metro area. Several of the farms on Sauvie Island are open and hosting corn mazes, pumpkin patches and other fam favorites.
Stroll through a Sunflower Field
West Union Gardens in Hillsboro has its second planting of sunflowers in full bloom. Get your $5 tickets and head out to the field!
Go on a Picnic
If you’re looking to get out and enjoy the city, go on a leisurely picnic in one of our amazing public parks. Here’s our top seven Portland picnic parks.
Take an Urban Hike
You don’t need to head all the way to the gorge to be surrounded by nature. These six urban parks have lots of parking, family-friendly trails and beautiful sights.
Visit a Portland Rose Garden
Portland is the Rose City, so it makes sense that we would have incredible rose gardens throughout the city. Visit one of these four free rose gardens.
Go Crabbing
Did you know you can crab in Oregon all year long? You can do it anytime from free public docks along the coast.
