Labor Day Weekend if the Rains Come
Labor Day Weekend in South Florida
Looking for a little excitement in the city this weekend? We’ve scoured the scene to discover a few offbeat options for locals and visitors who might need a bit of help finding the best South Florida has to offer. In the event of seasonal showers, we’re including a few indoor parties to keep the weekend rolling along, rain or shine!
Options include partying with twin orangutans, a gaggle of buxom cheerleaders, the lead singer of hardcore punk band Bad Brains and a chance to own the Muscle Car of “Silence of the Lambs” writer Thomas Harris, our favorite South Floridian Psycho Killer Creator…
Have Fun Out There!
