Your Labor Day celebration may look a little different this time around, as with everything else this year, but you can still enjoy the holiday weekend while keeping health and safety protocols in mind. We’ve collected a few ideas to help you make the most of the long weekend!

Perhaps you’ll opt for a low-key backyard barbecue with a small family or friend group. Remember to have hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, and masks available for your guests. Here are a few recipe suggestions for your socially distanced cookout.

• Barbecued Chicken on the Grill
• Juicy Lucy Cheeseburgers
• Ultimate 7-Layer Dip
• Firecracker Pasta Salad
• Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookie Bars

For added end-of-summer fun, set up an outdoor movie for a private backyard screening. Or mix up a special Labor Day cocktail.

Can’t get together in person? Host a virtual game night. Or maybe you’d like to take in a little music. The Detroit area’s traditional Labor Day weekend festival, “Arts, Beats & Eats,” will be held virtually this year. Click here for the full line up of concerts.

The Labor Day holiday also means some schedule changes for AIP Marketing Alliance. The AIPMA office will be closed Monday, September 7th, so that our employees can celebrate with their families and loved ones. We want to take this opportunity to wish a happy and safe Labor Day weekend to our wholesalers and agents!

Don’t forget, AIP Marketing Alliance summer hours will end on Tuesday, September 8th. The regular office schedule, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST, will resume on Wednesday, September 9th.
