Why the move to Labor Day Weekend?
In 2006 we moved from mid-August to the first weekend in September (Labor Day Weekend) to accommodate a date change by Lazy Bear Weekend, which moved from from mid-July to the first weekend in August. Lazy Bear organizers decided to make their date change permanent, so we are continuing with the Labor Day Wekeend. We realize that this conflicts with travel get-away plans for some, but it makes travel much easier for others to come and visit San Francisco. Besides being a better travel window (especially form the East Coast), some of the other benefits include better weather and lower hotel rates. It also gives us a whole day off after the fair to recover!
