Labor Day Weekend is here, and OWA Parks and Resort has a full lineup of events to help you celebrate the holiday!

Kick off Fall with us at the Labor Day Weekend Party September 1-3! Start the weekend on Friday, September 1, with a scavenger hunt and kid’s crafts in Downtown OWA. At 5:00 pm, come hungry and check in for the hot dog eating competition beginning at 7:00 pm on OWA Island. Can you eat ten hot dogs the fastest? 

Returning for its sixth year, the OWA Labor Day Car Show is back on Saturday, September 2! During this picturesque autumn event, cars of all makes and models will be on display throughout the charming streets of Downtown OWA. With hot rods and custom builds from all decades lining the streets, this car show is bound to have something that catches your eye! Check out the details here: link to car show landing page.

Stick around after the Car Show on Saturday, September 2, for kids’ activities and a live outdoor concert! Join us on OWA Island for live music from Stormfolk at 6 pm and the Ryan Dyer band at 8 pm. Round off the night with epic fireworks at 8:50 pm. This patriotic show can be seen throughout the entire property.

On Sunday, we won’t be slowing down the fun! There will be kid activities at Tropic Falls and a complimentary American Flag Handprint T-shirt activity in the Native Treasures Alcove. More live music will follow, starting at 5:00 pm with Funky Lampshades. Closing out the night, Ben Loftin & the Family will be performing a live blend of pop, funk, reggae, and soul. So, grab a cozy flannel, enjoy the fall weather, and catch them both at the Island Stage!
