Labor Day marks the end of summer. Usually we try to take it easy on the last day before school starts and don’t do much besides get ready for the first day of school. If you’re a bit more ambitious, we’ve got details on Ann Arbor Labor Day Events, Closures, and more.
Each holiday it is a challenge to figure out which places are open and which are closed. I have compiled the special events list below and a list of places that have confirmed that they are open or that they are closed. I will keep the list updated over the weekend as I hear about more openings or closures.

Places to Get Wet Near Ann Arbor
One of my daughter’s favorite parts of summer is the water – whether it’s swimming, water slides, splash parks, or just getting wet. Check out these Ann Arbor area Pools, Water Parks, and Splash Pads. Fortunately, there are a number of Ann Arbor Swimming Pools and more for kids to get wet and cool off […]
