September in Los Angeles starts with a whole array of events over the long Labor Day Weekend heralding the end of summer - at least for kids in school. Our summer continues all the way through the month with three Lobster Festivals, numerous Greek Festivals and abundant events to celebrate Mexican Independence Day and Latino Heritage Month, as well as the kick-off of Oktoberfest season in LA. Some Halloween festivities also begin as early as the beginning of September.
