But I could just as easily be on a boat.
Or at a pool party.
The key to be somewhere in board shorts, around bikinis and in, on or by the water. These are the prime party places on this end-of-summer three-day weekend. The 2023 dates are Sept. 2-4.
• Lake Travis, Austin, Texas. This is a boat tie-up party with hundreds of boats and a couple thousand people. You pull up to Devil’s Cove, find a spot and secure a line onto another boat, then jump in the water and “boat hop” to join all the other party people. There’s even some houseboats that have kegs and DJs. And all those Texas hotties – the girls wear cowboy hats with bikinis! Once the day ends, everyone goes across the water to the bar.

• Pacific Beach, CA
This is the “hey dude” hangout in San Diego where people who mentally have never left college party at places like Lahina overlooking the beach, Maverick’s, the Duck Dive, the Firehouse and countless other bars in this beach community. It’s wild on any normal weekend and toss in Labor Day Weekend and it’s out of control. In a fun way, of course.
• Fiesta Hermosa. This is a free fair in the Southern California beach city of Hermosa Beach. There are about 10,000 people on and around the Pier, which is crowded with craft tents, a band and several bars. There’s also a beer garden, which also has bands. The Pier is swarmed with single,, fun party people (making their way thorough the few families and strollers to the beer garden and bars).

• Palm Springs. Actually, it’s not Palm Springs, but Palm Desert, which is next to Palm Springs. The desert oasis here is the Marriott, which has a big pool that is wet and wild! Just like Vegas, but without the daytime club feel, you get drinks from the bar and take them into the water. There’s a DJ and plenty of singles action. The key is to get a condo for a week and not the high-priced hotel rooms for the weekend. Either way, be sure you have a wristband to get into the pool!

College Football Games
Labor Day Weekend is the beginning of the college football season and one thing that’s bigger than the actual games are the tailgate parties. The biggest Labor Day Weekend college football game for 2023 is LSU at Florida State (Sunday, 7:30 p.m. ET).
