PALO ALTO, CA — Are you looking for something fun to do this Labor Day? There are options available nearby — some are free. Here's a look at five things to do in the South Bay:

1. Catch a Cardinal game:

Nothing brings on more camaraderie, school spirit and the beauty of fall much like a NCAA football game at Stanford University, a leading Pac-12 contender for bowl games in many years. Review the Cardinal schedule.

2. Shop 'til you drop:

The Stanford Shopping Center brings a whole cosmopolitan world at your feet, so you can become a fashionista. Get on your feet and experience the plaza first hand.

3. Take in a world-class play:

The Tony award-winning Theatre Works based in Palo Alto offers the finest in the world of theater, some to rival what one might see on Broadway in New York. Now playing through the company is "39 Steps."

4. Have a staycation or just go out for an adult beverage:

The Sheraton Palo Alto is the sight to be seen or not seen in Palo Alto, whether you just want to get away with your honey to leave the nagging intrusions of home or to simply go out for a drink. The bar is known for its swagger in all things mixology.

5. Visit the McClellan Ranch Preserve:

A short jaunt away, the McClellan Ranch Preserve is a public preserve located in the Monta Vista neighborhood of Cupertino, which provides a getaway in the heart of the Silicon Valley's urban setting. The preserve still retains its historic rural ranch look. Find out with a day trip.
