Summer send-off? Um, hi, this is Tampa Bay — have you met me? Summer's not going anywhere for a few more months, but hell, I'm always up for fun shit to do on holiday weekends, so this Labor Day, take advantage of that.

Tampa Bay isn't lying, ya'll — and there's no shortage of ways to send off summer this weekend (even if we all know that steamy bitch isn't going anywhere anytime soon). Here's the what to do, from Tampa to St. Petersburg.
