Labor Day gave you an extra day. Please don’t spend it reorganizing the garage. 😎

Spend Labor Day weekend in Wichita cooling off at splash pads, shopping local markets, catching live music and outdoor movies, tagging monarch butterflies, getting outside along the Arkansas River and squeezing every last drop out of summer.

Three-day weekend. Wichita-sized list of possibilities. Garage can wait.

On September 25 and 26, downtown Wichita turns into a two-day, multi-venue lineup that even has Shaq behind a DJ booth. Yes, you read that right. Music and art colliding in the middle of the map (well, slightly off center).

Aviation is our birthright, and we can prove it. One of only two WWII B-29 Superfortresses still flying anywhere in the world. A playscape where you can climb into the cockpit of a soaring Beechcraft Staggerwing. A field where biplanes take off twenty yards from your lunch. Why spend National Aviation Day anywhere else?
