September kicks off with loads of long Labor Day weekend events and keeps it going with some early Halloween activities, plus so many more things to do in Los Angeles with kids!

September starts with Labor Day weekend, marking the end of summer and the gateway to Halloween and spooky season. LA's favorite venues, like Underwood Farms and Irvine Park Railroad, are kicking off the fall fun in Los Angeles this month. The Spider Pavilion creeps and crawls back to the Natural History Museum. There is also a wagonload of incredible fall festivals coming to Los Angeles this September, including dinoslobsters, the Maritime Festival in Dana Point, the Malibu Chili Cook-Off, and the Abbot Kinney Festival in Venice. 

These are just a few of our favorite things to do in Los Angeles this September—we're adding more events to the Los Angeles Family Activity Calendar every day. Keep reading for the very best things to do in Los Angeles this September.
