Labor Day weekend has a way of sneaking up on us, one last stretch of summer before the season changes. If you’re craving a few days to unwind, eat well, and enjoy good company, Orlando’s Marriott Grande Lakes is planning a weekend that blends laid-back luxury with just the right amount of celebration for a Labor Day weekend.
A Weekend Built for Every Pace
From August 29 through September 1, the resort is rolling out a mix of events. Think enjoying brunch one morning, then joining a 5K the next. Whether your perfect weekend leans more toward poolside naps or full-on festivities, you’ll find it there.
Good Food, Long Evenings
Over the weekend, the resort will be hosting relaxed evening buffets that make it easy to gather with friends or family. Highball & Harvest will offer a Labor Day spread Friday through Sunday, and on Sunday and Monday, Citron will serve up a backyard-style barbecue. It’s a simple way to unwind after a day by the pool or exploring Orlando, with no reservations or planning required.
A Scenic Start to Sunday
For early risers, the Grande Labor Day 5K takes place Sunday morning, August 31. The course winds through the property’s green spaces, and finishers can stick around for post-race perks.
The Takeaway
Labor Day weekend is the season’s last big exhale. If yours could use a little sunshine, good food, and room to breathe, Marriott Grande Lakes has the space and the schedule to make it happen.
