The three-day Labor Day holiday weekend is upon us.

We know a lot of you are heading to the beach, so make sure to check out our beach guide for restaurant suggestions and more. 

If you are sticking around the Triangle this weekend, we have you covered. Here are our picks for weekend fun:

Starting at noon, there will be water slides, a dunk tank and live music. The proceeds for the event are going to help a local man diagnosed with neuropathy and MS. Everything kicks off at noon and will run until about 10 p.m. Admission is free.
