This Labor Day Weekend puts a final wrap on your Summer 2024.

Head over to the Lakeside RV Park Amphitheater on Sunday from 6 to 9 p.m. for their 2024 Labor Day Weekend Bash. The evening of fun features live music from Joey Vitale, who plays country/Americana with covers of Garth Brooks, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, Dierks Bentley, Eric Church, and the Zac Brown Band, just to name a few. Admission is free; bring a cooler and some lawn chairs if you wish. There will be plenty of room to dance on the main floor, as the sun sinks low over the horizon and the stars light up the night next to the tranquil lake.

Have a blast this holiday weekend. The Pahrump Fireworks Safety Site is open from 7 to 11 p.m. Friday through Labor Day Monday. The site is located at 3770 Fox Ave. at the corner of Fox Avenue and Gamebird Road.
