Labor Day weekend in Atlanta is historically one of the busiest weekends in the city, with football season kicking off at the Benz, Dragon Con attracting America’s most devoted fandoms, House in the Park celebrating 20 years of dancing and all the joys that come with Black Pride. For Labor Day weekend, the streets of Atlanta were full of roller skating dragons, frat boys in polos and Khakis, a million Harry Potters and Bulldogs fans painted in UGA’s signature red and black.
