About Labor Day (US) in 2026
The first Labor Day parade was held in New York City on September 5, 1882, organized by the Central Labor Union to celebrate the American labor movement.
Historical credit for organizing the first 1882 parade is disputed between machinist Matthew Maguire and carpenter Peter McGuire, both labor organizers active in New York unions at the time.
Many US school districts begin the academic year in the days immediately surrounding Labor Day, though the exact timing varies by district.
