Sure, there’s a hurricane threatening to dampen – literally and figuratively – our three-day weekend but this is Florida and nothing – OK, very little – stands in the way of us and a good time.

So while Labor Day typically evokes visions of a long weekend full of sun, fun, and relaxation to ceremoniously ring in the end of summer, Hurricane Dorian may just rob us of the ‘sun’ on that list.

But if she doesn’t and you’re looking for things to do around Tampa Bay, check out this exhaustive list of ways to celebrate from the Tampa Bay Times.
