This wacky one-wheeled weekend rolls into town with a 13-mile ride from City Hall to Coney Island, where a party at Deno’s Wonder Wheel and fireworks honor Brooklyn Unicycle Day (yep, that exists) with a bang. The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus also invites those more comfortable standing on two legs to Governors Island for two full days of races, competitions and exhibitions, a chance to test your skills in a workshop or cheer for teams competing in one-wheeled basketball, hockey and even sumo wrestling. All ages.
Temperatures still may be well above sweater levels, but the arrival of Labor Day weekend 2013 (and a super early one, at that) can mean only one thing for New Yorkers: Summer days filled with trips to the local swimming pool,outdoor movies and seasonal exhibits are about to be replaced with shopping for classroom supplies and attending back-to-school events. Make it an easy transition with these Labor Day weekend 2013 happenings, from free concerts in the parks and colorful parades to a special Monday opening of Governors Island. Have great three-day weekend!
