Seize the Bay. One More Weekend.
Labor Day is the last long weekend of summer, and Panama City is ready to help you make the most of every minute. Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a weekend on the water, or a few days exploring our historic neighborhoods, this is your invitation to Seize the Bay one more time.
Summer Still Has More to Give. Seize the Bay this Labor Day.
There are some weekends that stay with you long after they’re over. The kind that begin with sunshine on the water, drift into afternoons that seem to last forever, and fade with a sunset you’ll be talking about long after you get home. Because the best summers always leave you wishing for just one more weekend. Warm bay waters, waterfront adventures, fresh local seafood, and the opening week of fall red snapper season are all waiting for you in Panama City.

Fall Red Snapper Season
Fall red snapper season opens September 1, just in time to make Labor Day Weekend even better. Cast off with a half-day or full-day fishing charter from one of Panama City’s marinas, reel in your catch, then spend the rest of the weekend soaking up the bay. It’s one more reason to make the most of summer.
