What is Labor Day?
Labor Day, the first Monday in September, honors American workers and the labor movement. The long weekend is widely treated as the unofficial end of summer and comes just as many schools start their year.
History of Labor Day
The first Labor Day parade was held in New York City on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, organized by the Central Labor Union. Oregon made it a state holiday in 1887, and Congress made it a federal holiday in 1894, shortly after the Pullman strike. Most other countries honor workers on May 1 instead.
Labor Day today
Federal offices, banks and schools close. Parades, picnics and end-of-summer sales are common, and the holiday traditionally marks the start of the fall political campaign season and the college football season.

How the Labor Day date is calculated
- September 1, 2027 is a Wednesday, so the first Monday is September 6. That makes Labor Day Monday, September 6, 2027. Federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103) sets it on that Monday.
- The countdown counts calendar days from today to September 6, 2027. The start date is excluded and the end date is included. Dates use Eastern Time (America/New_York).
- The live countdown runs to midnight at the start of September 6, 2027 in Eastern Time (America/New_York). A countdown day is 24 hours, so a daylight-saving change can make it differ from the calendar-day count by an hour.
- Calculated at 6:25 AM on October 24, 2026.
- U.S. business days exclude Saturday, Sunday and observed nationwide federal closures; individual employer and state schedules are not included.
