The Greenbelt Labor Day Festival promises a weekend of fun for the whole family.
We’re only one week into school and my brain is already a pile of goo, so it’s probably a good thing that it’s a bit of a sleepy weekend around Route One. If you’re not headed out of town or hanging by the pool, the Greenbelt Labor Day Festival offers fun for the family all weekend. Or, check out the National Book Festival where you can get starstruck by meeting all your favorite authors.
