Summer is more than just a season on St. Pete Beach, it’s a state of mind. As Labor Day traditionally brings summer to a close, TradeWinds Island Resorts brings the heat with one giant beach bash that keeps the fun going all weekend long. Between cookouts, contests and celebrations that will leave you reeling, the only place to send summer off with a bang is in the thick of the action right on one of the top beaches in the United States. With their value-packed Endless Summer Labor Day Package and more Labor Day events than anywhere else on the Gulf coast of Florida, there’s no better place to be the first weekend of September.
Labor Day represents the both the unofficial end of summer and the opportunity for hardworking Americans to get away, relax and enjoy the great outdoors. There are few more celebrated traditions than breaking for the beach to revel in all of the holiday festivities and enjoy an extra day of work-free bliss sprawled out on an endless shoreline. At TradeWinds, that coastline lends itself to ample holiday hoopla for thrill-seekers, sun-worshipers and families alike.
The entertainment heats up with the Annual Celebration Party and Taste of the Island Buffet, where all of your favorite summer foods are accompanied by tons of fun! Fill your plates with classics like crawfish gumbo, peel and eat shrimp, grilled Black Angus hamburgers, kosher all-beef hot dogs, Kalik braised BBQ beef short ribs and spiced buttermilk fried chicken. The sides are show stealers themselves, lining the buffet are all of the baked beans, sweet potato salad, grilled corn on the cob and southern style braised collard greens. We haven’t even started on the dessert bar! It wouldn’t be a true TradeWinds Labor Day celebration without chocolate fondue, key lime pie, assorted mousse shots and even an ice cream sundae bar.
Following the endlessly enticing fare is all of the sugar-fueled fun! Inflatable Carnival games line the beach ready to be climbed, battled or raced on. Discover a hidden talent with a hula hoop, limbo and other games of skill. You may even take home a trophy.
Bring home a short-term souvenir in the form of a temporary tattoo. Who knows, you may just want to sit back, catch some rays and enjoy the DJ playing your favorite tunes! The piece de resistance is undoubtedly the booming Labor Day beach fireworks display at dusk, popping right over the sparkling Gulf of Mexico. This annual event always leaves guests in awe.
TradeWinds’ Labor Day activities don’t stop at just the holiday events, either! One of the biggest perks of the Labor Day Endless Summer Package is the built in resort amenity fee, so all of the fun’s included! That means unlimited rides on the High Tide Slide, plenty of chances to take on the Surf WipeOut, leisurely coasting down the waterway on paddle boats, staying fit with complimentary resort beachfront fitness classes and sweetening the sunset with s’mores!
One of the best features of the resort amenity fee is an absolute necessity on such a busy holiday weekend. At TradeWinds, you have the ability to reserve your beachfront cabana online the night before use! That also includes self-parking, in room Wi-Fi and pool towels as well.
With a motto like “Just Let Go,” there’s no better place to celebrate a holiday centered on relaxation and fun in the sun. With more Labor Day events and activities to do (or not), TradeWinds Island Resorts on St. Pete Beach is the ultimate Labor-free place to be!
