ARLnow Holiday Weekend Discussion

This weekend officially marks the end of summer, with Labor Day on Monday.

Be warned if you’re staying in the area: there are plenty of closures this weekend for the federal holiday.

Libraries, courts, the DMV and recreation centers are among the county facilities closed, although spraygrounds will be open and trash pickup will operate as normal on Labor Day.

Trash pickup, recycling & cart services will operate as normal on Labor Day. See Arlington's full list of closures: https://t.co/N3rWWDa7y0
