Right in the middle of Southern Decadence, you can attend a free outdoor concert in the French Quarter. A pre-show starts at 5:30 p.m., while headliners perform at 6:30 p.m. For more information about the performers, visit the Southern Decadence’s official website. 

If you’re looking for another free concert, the first-ever Freedom Fest will take place in Kenner at Lake Pontchartrain. The festival celebrates laborers all over the nation with food, live music, and a place to relax. Between 2:30 p.m. and 8 p.m., organizers will host several activities and entertainment bits, including Horse races, Gymnastic demos, group limbo, and giant Twister.

End your Sunday Afternoon with a Walking parade that starts on Decatur and ends on Bourbon Street. Led by the Grand Marshall, bystanders are allowed to participate. No motor vehicles will be allowed. For a map of the parade route, visit this page. 

This weekend is the last to enjoy this water park at Audubon Zoo. Open until September 4, Labor Day, Admission is $12 and $10 for Audubon members, in addition to the Zoo ticket. The water park will close until next summer.

Speaking of the last time to use the pool, Labor Day weekend marks the last weekend to use of The W and the Le Méridien pools as a non-guest for the summer. Throughout this weekend, entry to the pools cost $30 (The W) and $15 (Le Méridien).

The Labor Day weekend will also be a great day to kick back at the park. At City Park, take a walk along Big Lake, picnic under the singing oaks, and visit the New Orleans Museum of Art.

City Putt and Storyland will also be open during the Holiday weekend.
