If you haven’t made your travel plans, you’d better hurry! The gays are kicking the party off on Friday, August 29, at 12:01 am, sharp.
Below, three of the most luxurious and scenic weekend spots to check out.
1. Provincetown, Massachusetts
If you’re looking for a classy and coastal feel (or just a good lobster roll), there’s no better place than P-Town, the exceptionally gay tip of Cape Cod.
Although there’s no official Labor Day Weekend theme, visitors can expect the town’s typical festivities: nightly entertainment by drag queens and queer performers alike, parties at Provincetown’s lineup of gay bars (including the historic A-House), and daily tea dances at Boatslip Resort & Beach Club, pictured above.
2. Sitges, Spain
Sitges is one of the best gay travel destinations in Spain and, honestly, Europe as a whole. The historic and hillside beach town is just 45 minutes away from Barcelona and features two clothing-optional beaches, nonstop partying, and gorgeous and scenic accommodations like Hotel Calipolis.
While there’s no official theme for Labor Day Weekend, you can expect tons of friendly faces at hot spots like Club XXL dance club and El Horno, one of the oldest and most popular bars in town.
Who knows, you might have so much fun, you’ll end up extending your trip for their Bear Week, which runs from September 5 to 14.
3. Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Puerto Vallarta celebrates the weekend with a packed lineup, running from August 29 to 31. While everyone will be partying throughout the stunning beachside town in Mexico, the LGBTQ+ action is mostly centered around the Zona Romantica area.
Spend your mornings soaking up rays at Playa de Los Muertos, enjoy poolside parties and scenic tropical views at hotels like Almar Resort, then end your nights at the illustrious Industry nightclub with parties from 11 pm until 7 am featuring international DJs, go-go dancers, and no shortage of good-looking guys.
