Polk County, Florida Labor Day celebrations?

Question

I live in Lake Alfred, FL and was wondering if anyone knew of any festivities or celebrations for labor day 2008 in or around Polk County.

Answer 1

Labor day is not really celebrated in Florida.It is a labor union holiday, Florida is a right ot work state, which is aganist labor unions. Sounds employee friendly but it is not.    

Answer 2

There are not any festivals that I can find.

I would try the Polk County Chamber or Commerce or The Ledger for other events that have not been advertised greatly. A local park is always filled with people BBQing on Labor Day.

Next weekend is the Lakeland Art Festival. I know its not what you were looking for but it sounds like fun.
