Are you interested in spending your Labor Day in Panama City Beach? We don’t blame you! The Sunshine State is home to numerous parties, golden beaches, stretches of bright blue water and coastline, yummy eateries, bustling cafes, cool bars, and much more. It is no wonder that people flock to the East Coast from all over the world to see the beauty of Florida – and specifically, Panama City Beach, an old-world Florida-style town that has outdoor activities, fun bars, seafood restaurants, and annual events over Labor Day Weekend for people of all ages!
Head to the Beach
The top thing to do in Panama City Beach during Labor Day Weekend, or any time of the year, is go to the beach! There are numerous stretches of sand along PCB, featuring 27 miles of beach for you to choose from to set up your umbrella and start building a sandcastle. We recommend going to Schooners Last Local Beach Club to get an ice-cold beer after a full day of boogie boarding and surfing in the water!
Check Out the Local Parks
There are also numerous state parks and local parks that offer access to water, camping spots, picnic areas, and play areas for children. Head to St. Andres State Park and the Grand Lagoon for a fun day out on the water. We also recommend spending a day at Camp Helen State Park to check out the incredible plants, flora, fauna, wildlife, and sandy dunes. If you would rather get away from the crowds, nowhere is better than Shell Island for finding seashells, going hiking along the seven miles of coastline, and fishing in the crystal blue water.
Perfect Hues
Head to the nearby Baytowne Wharf on Labor Day Weekend from September 1st at 5 pm to September 3rd at 10 pm to enjoy artwork from local artists, painting your own pictures, going shopping for arts and crafts, and listening to live music from talented musicians. There is live music every day on the weekend, and it even features a fireworks show over the lagoon on Sunday evening!
Harley Davidson Event
Head to the local Harley Davidson in PCB on September 4th to enjoy grilling, barbecue lunches, motorcycle demonstrations, and tours of the infamous building! We know that you and your kids will love seeing these motorcycles up close and personal.

Florida comes alive during June – August, featuring crowded beaches, fun festivals, mouthwatering seafood, cool cafes, outdoor sports, and ample activities that are great for your group of friends, family vacation, or couple’s retreat.

Summer Concert Series
Nothing goes better together than an ice-cold beer, coastal vibes, and live music — right? We think so too! The Summer Concert Series in PCB is one of the most widely-lauded and highly anticipated events in the entire state due to the plethora of artists who perform, the good vibes, the thousand of people, and the open-air amphitheater. We love this open and spacious theater that makes use of Florida’s amazing weather!
Bay Point Billfish Open
A fun event that is a must-do during your summer in PCB is the Bay Point BillFish Open fishing tournament in PCB held at the picturesque Point South Marina at Bay Point. Held between June 28 and July 2nd, we highly recommend visiting this coastal town over this weekend so you can meet other like-minded people, enjoy the live music, nibble on some fresh seafood, and watch the pro fishermen do their job.
Panama City Beach 4th of July
There is no more ‘American’ holiday than the infamous Fourth of July! Plus, when you celebrate it here at PBC, you will be blown away by the fresh seafood, drink specials, live music events, parades down the main street, and fireworks that light up the Gulf Coast waters. We love going here with our families to celebrate and soak in the restaurant specials, fireworks, family-friendly games, and pristine views over the white sand beaches and the bright blue waters.
Not to mention, when you stay with us at one of our rentals in PCB, you will have the vacation of a lifetime. You can forget about being crowded in a tiny and small hostel or hotel room — we offer pristine, luxurious, modern, and spacious properties that can suit your unique needs. Just browse our properties on Vacations Perfected today to find one that will be your new home away from home.
Panama City Beach is a beautiful and pristine coastal area in the Sunshine State that is lesser-known when compared to the bustling towns of Tampa and Orlando – and we like it that way! Forget being on overcrowded beaches or wearing your way into a stuffed bar to get a drink – we have a better idea.
Panama City Beach is a slower-paced and more-relaxed area that still offers the best of the best, featuring white sand beaches, bustling bars, mouthwatering seafood restaurants, cool cafes, and much more. If you want the best of Florida without spending a fortune or being around tourists all of the time, this is THE place to be.
That is why we think that PCB is the hotspot for Mother’s Day family weekends for a fun and wholesome time with your loved ones. Plus, there are dozens of annual events that make Mother’s Day weekend here simply unforgettable. Let’s check out the must-do things during your stay here that are sure to make your Mother’s Day in Panama City Beach one you’ll never forget.

Let’s check out the top things to do in Panama City Beach during your upcoming holiday that ensure you and your guests have the best vacay possible.
Easter Brunch
One of the big hits for why people enjoy Easter so much is brunch, of course! Everybody loves brunch, and restaurants in PCB sure do love rolling out the red carpet with new brunch plates, buffets, and good vibes. We recommend going to Schooners Last Local Beach Club to have a filling Easter brunch; you can also stay late into the night to listen to live music, go dancing, and enjoy a few drinks specials. Talk about the perfect place for an all-day excursion!
Another good spot for Easter brunch is Another Broken Egg Cafe. This brunch and lunch spot features Southern-inspired dishes that are sure to give you a little kick of spice, satisfy your sweet tooth, or give you just enough caffeine in your coffee to keep you going all day long. We recommend getting the famous shrimp n’ grits, a plate piled high with gulf shrimp and andouille sausage, red peppers, onions, and cream cheese egrets. Or, if you would rather have something a bit “healthier,” try the Eggs Blackstone Benedict with an English muffin, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, bacon, green onions, and fresh country potatoes.
Easter Egg Hunt
Easter is a family holiday, so if you have your kids with you in PCB, chances are they are going to want to go on an Easter egg hunt! We recommend going to Frank Brown Park on the morning of April 16th to enjoy spending quality time with your children, hunting for easter eggs, and getting in some exercise on a beautiful morning along the coastline. Bring your kids aged 10 and under to participate in this family-friendly activity – and snap a few photos to put in your scrapbook!
