For USC students, Labor Day weekend offers a welcome break to the busyness and early chaos that starts off each academic year. While attending or watching this Saturday’s opening USC football game against Minnesota is a no-brainer, there’s still ample time for other activities. In particular, the three-day weekend is a great opportunity to explore Los Angeles and discover what the sprawling metropolitan city around us has to offer.

Here’s a quick guide to great stops for everyone this Labor Day weekend in Los Angeles:

The L.A. County Fair

For: The kid at heart

When: Saturday, Sept. 3, through Monday, Sept. 5; then Wed-Sun from Sept. 7 – Oct. 2

Where: The Fairplex in Pomona, about a 35 mile drive from USC

The rundown: If you’re looking for great entertainment and don’t have the energy to trek all the way to Vegas, the L.A. County Fair should be your next stop. In addition to offering rides, live music and unique animal attractions such as a live shark encounter and jungle camp, the fair has a deep history in California dating back to 1922.
