Start Your Labor Day Weekend With a Free Fun Event in Fort Collins

Labor Day weekend is finally here, and many have been looking forward to the holiday weekend. It is a chance to hit the pool one final time, the lake, perhaps the water park, or a chance to catch up on some much-needed rest or take one final trip before summer ends. For those that are looking for something fun to do locally and without breaking the bank, you are in luck. There is a fun and free event happening this Friday in Fort Collins to kick off the holiday weekend that you don't want to miss.

First Friday on Linden Street

After a long week at work, a long day of watching the clock on Friday, and anticipating the three-day weekend to begin, head towards Fort Collins and start your night of fun. The 200 block of Linden Street will be closed Friday evening for a block party filled with free fun, so make sure to avoid the area or expect delays if you aren't planning to attend. The event is called First Friday on Linden Street, and it is a way to end the summer in style. There will be live music, games, shopping, and a skateboard expo. The event will be from 5 PM to 9 PM, so head there straight after work.
