3 Budget Bay Area Labor Day Events

Do you want to do something unique for Labor Day weekend 2011 in Northern California?

Are you tired of the same old Labor Day weekend destinations in the Bay Area each year? If you have been looking for some unique and budget-friendly trips that will break you out of your urban routine, there is hope. As long as you have a car, you are headed in the right direction toward activities that are a bit out of the ordinary.

Planning means that bikes, bus tickets, train tickets, and camping can be arranged for most of these locations. All of the day trips in this article are geared toward Labor Day weekend 2011 near the Bay Area in Northern California.

Hear music and see the forests

For some areas of Northern California, celebrating Labor Day means enjoying the best music. Everyone is familiar with the top blues performers found at the Eureka Blues by the Bay music fest . However, two hours east of San Francisco near the Stanislaus Forest and premier white water rafting is the Strawberry Music Festival.

The little town of Jamestown will be hosting bluegrass legends locally and from across the country. In the past, day passes to the festival have started at $65 per adult and $20 for kids, and camping is
encouraged.

When is the last time you went to a pow-wow?

Labor Day weekend is a key time for some parts of the United States to throw their annual pow-wow. Northern California is representing these traditions this year with festivities popping up in Snyder's Valley Springs and Stockton. Snyder's Valley Springs is especially kid-friendly and well-known as a great spot to learn about geology by panning for gemstones and minerals.

Staying in Snyder's Valley is easy and affordable, thanks to a well-organized government focus on tourism. GoCalaveras.com will help keep you in the know about local activities and give you options for finding a campsite or lodging.

Labor Day aligns with wine harvests

Don't forget about all of the wine celebrations happening on Labor Day weekend this year. Besides wine tasting, there are also a number of sales. For example, there are hand-crafted and limited production bottles found at Sapphire Hill Vineyards 90 miles north of San Francisco.

Part of the reason that wineries are getting rid of their old stock is due to the peak of the harvest season. This means more wine for everyone. However, if you want to make this a social occasion for getting to know other wine-lovers, be sure to join the annual Harvest Wine Celebration. Less than an hour from San Francisco, shuttles will be provided to ensure you see all 40 of the locations in Livermore listed on the roster.
