Make plans for Labor Day in Cloquet

Cloquet will, once again, be the place to go to celebrate Labor Day. After a pandemic hiatus, the free Oldtimers Banquet will return on Sunday, Sept. 4 from noon to 4 p.m. at the Four Seasons Event Center in Carlton.

The parade is the highlight on Labor Day, filled with neighbors, businesses, and politicians marching down Cloquet Avenue at 11 a.m., Monday, Sept. 5, followed by children’s activities and food trucks at Veterans Park until 4 p.m.

The Northeastern Hotel, Saloon and Grille will host its annual Labor Day car show – they’re hoping for better weather and a better turnout than July Fourth brought.

Labor Day organizers Chad Tuura and Joe Kneisel are in need of volunteers. Interested? Call Tuura at 218-590-0238.
