It's Labor Day weekend!
That means an extra day off for (most of) us to lounge by the pool, catch rays, and bask in the fruit of our labor by drinking and partying til we can't any more.
The holiday also marks the official end of summer, so it merits to be celebrated by floating around in a pool surrounded by music, food, and an ice-cold drink on hand.
Here are the six best pool parties going down in Miami this Labor Day weekend.
