With Labor Day falling on September 1 this year, many of those working in accordance with the U.S. federal holiday calendar find themselves blessed with a long weekend ahead of them. To make the most of this welcome time off, consider some of these activities:

Harleys in Prague: Those nostalgic for a slice of that back-home feeling can make way to the Czech capital, where Prague Harley Days are set to bring a healthy dose of Americana to the city’s Exhibition Grounds. On August 29 and 30, Harley owners and those with a heart for the iconic brand will find motorcycles and autos on display, rock concerts, a barbecue pit, a custom bike show, adrenaline zone, market, beer garden and more. A program highlight is the group Harley ride through the neighborhoods of Prague, slated to begin at 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 30. Advance online tickets for both days of the festival go for 777 Czech Koruna (about $37) for male visitors. Female visitors can enjoy free entry to this year’s edition of the festivities.

Star spotting in Venice: The Lido di Venezia is the place to be for those hoping for a glimpse of famous faces, as the 82nd edition of the Venice International Film Festival continues its 11-day run through Sept. 6. The Mostra Internazionale d’Arte Cinematografica, the world’s oldest film festival, is known not only for holding screenings in historical venues but also the party atmosphere it brings to the island just a hop-skip from Venice proper. Tickets to showings of several films daily are available to the public, subject to availability. Films taking part in this year’s competitive section of the festival include Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein” and Benny Safdie’s “The Smashing Machine.” Other things to do include exploring the festival’s outdoor spaces including gardens with seating, food and beverage areas and a waterfront terrace restaurant.

Culture and museum visits in Frankfurt: Germany’s financial capital displays a more relaxed and multicultural side as the Museumsuferfest, or Museum Embankment Festival, unfolds along the banks of the Main River Aug. 29-31. Visitors can pop in to see the collections and special exhibitions of some two dozen museums, enjoy concerts, dancing and other live performances across several stages, sample cuisines originating from all corners of the world or shop the arts and crafts market. The event will conclude with a display of fireworks high above the river scheduled for 10 p.m. Aug. 31. The purchase of a button at a cost of 7 euros provides holders with free admission to all participating museums. Online: tinyurl.com/mr3v35y4

Music festival in Munich: Those loathe to see summer slip away without having attended a single music festival have a chance to remedy that by heading to Superbloom, an event featuring dozens of international artists playing in the city’s Olympic Park. At the time of this writing, there were still tickets available to the event slated for Aug. 30-31. Artists playing on Saturday include Post Malone, Raye, Nelly Furtado, Alligatoah, Jelly Roll and others; Sunday’s lineup includes Hozier, Shawn Mendes, Bebe Rexha and others.

Wine fest in Stuttgart, Germany: The Stuttgarter Weindorf, or Stuttgart Wine Village, brings an atmosphere of coziness and conviviality to some of the city’s prettiest corners. Through Sept. 6, wine lovers can sample Trollinger, Lemberger, Spätburgunder and other varieties typical to the region in the market square, Schillerplatz and along Kirchstrasse. The wines are sure to pair well with the Swabian cuisine on offer. Sunday’s program offers handicrafts, face painting, cooking lessons and other activities geared toward younger visitors.

Volksfest in Rosenheim, Germany: The Herbstfest Rosenheim, or Rosenheim Autumn Festival, could make a great prelude or alternative to Munich’s massive Octoberfest. While Rosenheim’s volksfest is nowhere near the size of the event in Bavaria’s capital, it still manages to attract over a million visitors over the course of its 16-day run at the Loreto meadow. The festival opens in spectacular style at 11 a.m. Aug. 30 with a procession of marchers in traditional costume. Once the barrel has been ceremoniously tapped, visitors can enjoy the food, drink and ambiance of the festival’s two large tents, feast on treats from dozens of food stalls or take a turn on one of the attractions. The festival runs daily through Sept. 14. Online: herbstfest-rosenheim.de

Rosenheim isn’t the only German city in full volksfest mode over the last August weekend. Other cities celebrating through the weekend include Augsburg, where the Augsburger Herbstplärrer continues through Sept. 7; Erding, at which the Herbstfest Erding runs Aug. 29-Sept. 7; Regensburg, site of the Regensburger Herbstdult Aug. 29-Sept. 14 and Worms, where the Backfischfest unfolds Aug. 30-Sept. 7.
