Expect a jam-packed weekend on Governors Island: It’ll have extended hours on Friday (with the last ferry back to Manhattan leaving at 10 p.m.), and the NYC Unicycle Festival—yes, a celebration of unicycles—taking the island over on Saturday and Sunday. It’s also open on Labor Day, if you’re looking for a place to have a picnic with friends.

Big Onion Walking Tours will lead its semi-regular journey through Lower Manhattan, tracing the origins of the labor movement in New York City—it is the reason for the holiday, after all. Though the full itinerary is kept under wraps, locations that may come up include NYU’s Brown Building—the site of the devastating Triangle Shirtwaist Fire—and Cooper Union’s iconic Great Hall. The tour happens on Monday, September 2 at 1 p.m.

Manhattan’s 46th Street between Sixth and Seventh avenues is known as “Little Brazil,” thanks to the abundance of Brazilian businesses—restaurants, salons, mom-and-pop shops, and more—that once clustered on that block. While most of the businesses are gone, the identity remains; and on Sunday, September 1, the block is the epicenter of Brazilian Day, an annual festival to celebrate that country’s Independence Day. Expect live performances, dancing, and plenty of food.

This weekend is a busy one at the Queens sculpture park: On Saturday, there’s a a farmer’s market, a performance by Circus Amok, and free yoga lessons. On Sunday, you can try tai chi or yoga, or go kayaking in Hallett’s Cove. Whatever you decide to do, don’t forget to check out School Studio’s installation Objects In Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear beforehand.

MoMA PS1’s Young Architects Program exhibition wraps up on September 2—after that, the hammocks and urban jungle created by Hórama Rama by Pedro & Juana will come down. See them for yourself during the museum’s final Warm Up party of the summer, with Annie Mac, FLOORPLAN, and Inner Wave among the mixmasters who’ll be spinning that afternoon.

Or any New York City beach, really; they’re only open for another week. The Rockaways are always a good bet, thanks to its abundance of sand—the whole thing finally reopened this year—and the abundance of food options on the Boardwalk. Or head to Jacob Riis Park, which is gaining on its neighbor in popularity; the Riis Park Beach Bazaar will have events happening all weekend.

There are a bunch of kid-friendly activities happening on Labor Day proper, including nature programs at the Audubon Center, carousel rides, and a Caribbean-themed storytelling event at the Lefferts Historic House. Once you’re done with that, check out some of the park’s lesser-known corners.

New York City’s annual West Indian American Day Carnival, held on Labor Day, will head to Crown Heights in Brooklyn once again for a day of festivities that celebrates the history, culture, music, food, and people from myriad Caribbean countries. Each year, the parade attracts more than a million people, making it one of the, if not the largest Caribbean celebrations in the country. Find everything you need to know about the event here.

The last hurrah for Coney Island’s summer-long fireworks displays is this Friday, so make a day of it: Grab a hot dog at Nathan’s, saunter the boardwalk, and after a couple of rides on the Wonder Wheel, stare up in awe as the pyrotechnics go off over the beach. (Can’t make it on Friday? The Coney Island Museum is open from noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday, and from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.)
