Though we’ll be enjoying Phoenix’s warm sunny skies for some time to come, summer unofficially comes to an end with the final three-day weekend of the season. Enjoy the holiday with these top things to do for Labor Day in Phoenix:

Final Weekend of Summer Art Exhibits

Opt indoors this Labor Day weekend for your last chance to see two Phoenix art exhibits. The Heard Museum features masterpieces by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera for the only North American tour stop. You should also head to the Musical Instrument Museum for Dragons and Vines: Inlaid Guitar Masterpieces, an exhibit showcasing a collection of instruments featuring stunning inlay design.
