2. Host a barbecue

What’s Labor Day without a barbecue? It may be the last one of the year, so make the most of it! And with the venues we’ve already mentioned and hundreds of more on Peerspace, you can easily book one that has all the space and grilling gear you could need.
To prepare, gather an assortment of meats to make kebabs or whatever you would like to serve, as well as veggies to grill for your vegetarian guests. Buy patriotic paper plates, cups, and napkins, and a mix of red, white, and blue utensils.
In addition to typical barbecue sides and appetizers like coleslaw, corn on the cob, potato salad, and cornbread, whip up patriotic side dishes like “American flag” fruit kebabs with strawberries, bananas, and blueberries for layered yogurt parfaits.
3. Set up a burger and hot dog bar

This idea is a spin on the classic barbecue. To host your very own burger and/or hot dog bar, set up a table with all of the usual fixings like ketchup, mayo, mustard, chili, cheese, bacon, veggies, relish, and jalapenos. Create an assembly line where guests can assemble sliders or full-sized burgers and hot dogs.
To accommodate vegetarian and vegan guests, consider serving veggie patties and soy hot dogs as well. If you are serving hot dogs, buy paper trays from Michael’s craft stores or party stores for easy serving.Â
