Oglebay to celebrate Labor Day weekend with live music, history and fireworks
Oglebay Park Resort’s Labor Day Weekend celebration returns Friday and continues through Monday in Wheeling, W.Va.
It will feature Fort Henry Days, the Wheeling Symphony Orchestra’s “Music Under the Stars” and a fireworks finale over Schenk Lake, alongside a full weekend of family activities and entertainment throughout the park.
The holiday weekend will also bring a close to Oglebay’s summer-long celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.
On Saturday and Sunday, Fort Henry Days will bring the history of the Ohio Valley to life with living-history demonstrations, period encampments and reenactments of the Battle for Fort Henry. The annual tradition shares the stories of the region’s Revolutionary War era and offers guests an opportunity to experience an important chapter of local history firsthand.
“Music Under the Stars,” featuring the Wheeling Symphony Orchestra, will be at Oglebay Amphitheater Sunday evening. The celebration continues with fireworks over Schenk Lake.
Additional Labor Day Weekend happenings include live entertainment and family-friendly activities throughout the park, including the annual woodcarvers show, Americana skydiving performance, inflatable fun zone, foam party and end-of-summer pool party.
