Start Planning your Labor Day Weekend in Sun Valley
Many travelers consider Labor Day the official goodbye to the summer season, but with warm weather still on your side in Sun Valley in early September, there are plenty of reasons to get out and celebrate. A great way to make the most of a weekend of fun is to participate in the annual Wagon Days. From August 29th through August 31st, Wagon Days will be hosted in Ketchum and will include a full weekend of entertainment. There’s a pancake breakfast planned for Wagon Days this year as well as a barn dance at the Ore Wagon Museum. The Wagon Days parade is always a highlight of the event for guests of all ages while opportunities to watch bareback horse riding demonstrations are sure to thrill. Wagon Days includes plenty of kid-friendly activities to enjoy, and if you and your crew are fans of great music, you’ll want to be sure to attend the Wagon Days Street Party after the parade where Chris Hennessee will be performing. There will be plenty of great food and beverages to go around as well.
