LANDRUM – The City of Landrum, in conjunction with The Well, is holding a Labor Day Festival on Trade Street on Saturday, Sept. 3 from 5 to 9 p.m.

Featured at the “Summer Sizzle!” festival will be rides, inflatables, food, drinks, music and a closing fireworks show.

Everything is free, but the city has requested attendees bring an item to donate to the backpack ministry, which provides meals to children on free and reduced lunches in the community.

Donations are always accepted at the Landrum Fire Department and at Landrum City Hall. Items needed by the ministry include individually packaged fruit cups, bags of chips, ramen noodles, easy-to-open cans of soup, spaghetti, ravioli, dessert cakes, granola bars or individually packaged oatmeal and grits.
