Great Gables Events – weekend of September 1

Greetings,

The big Labor Day Weekend is here. The first Monday in September is a time to gather with family and friends to celebrate the contributions of American Labor to our economy over many decades. Respect for workers’ unions and their plight lead to a better quality of life for many Americans. In 1894, Congress unanimously voted to approve legislation to make Labor Day a national holiday and President Grover Cleveland signed it into law. 123 years later, we continue the tradition with family gatherings, parades, picnics, barbecues and more, while celebrating the unofficial end-of-summer-season weekend.

Make the most of your big weekend by checking out some of the following Great Gables Events.

Bocas House comes to the Gables

Try the ceviches and the grilled steaks, Causa de Camarón, Arroz Fusión, Mac and Cheese, Pastel de Cachapa — but all the buzz is about the unusual milkshakes made with nutella, tres leches or oreo.
