It’s hard to believe that in just a few days, we will be saying good-bye to July and heading into the final month of summer with Labor Day weekend just around the corner. By now, we hope you’ve had time to do some of things you had planned when summer first started. But, if not, there’s still time to plan a trip and make the most of the rest of summertime. And, it just so happens that Turner PR knows the best destinations to check out thanks to our great clients, located in some of the coolest destinations in the U.S., Mexico and Caribbean.
Whether you want to stay state-side or head south of the border, we have a few suggestions for that last minute summer escape.
In Colorado, you can check out the upcoming Perseids meteor shower in Estes Park. The Estes Park Memorial Observatory is the perfect place to star-gaze away from the city lights and see the meteors up-close. Over Labor Day weekend, Estes will be hosting their annual Arts & Crafts Show. More than 100 booths will feature a variety of art, including paintings and drawings, jewelry, metal work, clothing, gourmet pantry items, wood carvings, pottery, glass and more.
In the beautiful mountain town of Telluride, the 37th Annual Film Festival will take place September 3-6. Staying true to the spirit of film-making, this Festival is intended for pure indulgence and enjoyment of films. The program is kept secret and isn’t released until just before the Festival kicks off, a great way to watch the movies without bias.
Haven’t had a chance to stick your toes in the sand? Then, head to Mexico’s Riviera Maya for a last minute trip. Over Labor Day Weekend, on September 4th the Riviera Maya Jazz Festival is presenting a Latin salsa and jazz concert in the Riviera Maya’s gorgeous seaside village of Tulum. The concert will feature a selection of renowned Latin salsa and jazz artists including Araya-Orta Latin Jazz Quartet, Eddie Palmieri and India.
