You may not realize it, but the Labor Movement led to a lot of the good things in our workplaces: limitations on working hours, the banning of child labor, and yes, the weekend. What better way to celebrate those folks then by not working at all? If you’re ready to kick back and do nothing, here’s what’s up on Labor Day in Charleston. 

Drink

Got some time on your hands? Gather some friends and drink some beers or sip some wine.

Deep Water Vineyard

August 31st 

6775 Bears Bluff Rd. 

Wadmalaw Island 

South Carolina, 29487 

(843) 559-6867 

There’s only one winery in Charleston, and it’s a good one. Nestled on Wadmalaw Island, Deep Water’s Labor Day Weekend Winedown will feature BBQ from La’Son Anchor Grill. Eat, drink, and be merry while Charleston-based band, Calhoun’s Calling, plays in the background.

Low Tide Brewing

September 1st 

2863 Maybank Highway 

Johns Island 

Charleston, SC 29455 

(843) 501-7570 

Celebrate Labor Day weekend with a cold one—or a few cold ones—at Low Tide. The brewery has works with local chefs to create praiseworthy food and beer pairings. Low Tide is putting its own spin on the Labor Day festivities by offering all to go beers in a buy one/get one half-off feature. 

Move

Go outside and enjoy the last of the gorgeous summer weather.

Cast Off Fishing Tournament

 

August 31st 

Folly Beach Pier 

101 E Arctic Avenue 

 Folly Beach, SC 29439 

(843) 762-9516 

What’s more relaxing than a day spent fishing? Actually, probably nothing. But the Cast Off tournaments put a festive spin on these friendly competitions, bringing in food vendors and prizes for various categories. Spotted trout and bluefish are frequently reeled in off Folly Beach Pier—good luck!

Labor Day 5k

September 2nd 

Under 526 near Volvo Tennis Center

Sure, you can spend Labor Day sitting around doing nothing…or you can lace up your running shoes and celebrate not being stuck at a desk! Not up to running? You can walk instead; bring as many friends and family as you want and enjoy the beautiful late summer weather. There’s even a post-race afterparty (with beer!) at a local restaurant!

Listen

Make Labor Day all the more festive and deepen your appreciation of music at the same time.

The Lowcountry Jazz Festival

August 30th-September 1st 

Charleston Gaillard Center 

95 Calhoun St. 

Charleston, SC  There’s no better way to usher in the end of summer than with some cool tunes. This three-day celebration of jazz features Keiko Matsui, Marion Meadows, Dave Koz and Friends, and numerous other jazz acts that will keep you grooving and dancing all weekend. The venue is right near local hot spots like Zero Restaurant & Bar and Halls Chophouse, so bring your love for music and your appetite.
