About Labor Day

Labor Day is a U.S. federal holiday observed on the first Monday of September. It honors the American labor movement and the contributions of workers to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of the country. The holiday was first celebrated in 1882 and became a federal holiday in 1894. Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer, and many Americans celebrate with barbecues, parades, and end-of-season sales. It is also traditionally seen as the last weekend for wearing white in fashion.

How to prepare for Labor Day

Plan one last summer outing — a beach trip, lake day, or camping weekend — since Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer. Shop end-of-season sales for summer clothing, outdoor gear, and patio furniture at steep discounts. Prepare for the school year if you have kids: stock up on supplies and finalize routines. If you're hosting a Labor Day cookout, try something different from Fourth of July — a clambake, taco bar, or seafood boil can be a refreshing change.
