While summer in the Northern Hemisphere officially ends on Monday, Sept. 22, the week before Labor Day marks a kind of unofficial end, as kids go back to school, a crispness returns to the air, and jewelers start to think in earnest about their holiday showcases .
That’s all by way of saying the events schedule is light this week. Besides attending a museum exhibit in the Big Apple or a buying show in the Big Peach, you’ll probably want to relax poolside with a frothy drink in hand. Here’s to summer 2025’s last gasp!
