LABOR DAY WEEKEND IN L.A.’s Marina

Labor Day Weekend may be the official end of summer break, but the fun is still going strong in Marina del Rey. There’s plenty of things to do all weekend long. Soak up some sun on a brunch cruise, sip mimosas at a waterside restaurant, then stand-up paddle away the extra calories. See you on the water, L.A.!
