While many workers have the day off, most consumer-facing businesses are operating, with several retailers also offering Labor Day sales and promotions.
Labor Day, celebrated on the first Monday of September to honor American workers, is marked this year on Monday, September 7, 2026. Most federal and state government offices, post offices, courts, schools, banks, UPS, FedEx, and US stock markets close in observance of the federal holiday.
Despite the closures, ATMs, online banking, and certain essential services remain available. Grocery stores, restaurants, and most major retail chains like Home Depot, Lowe's, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart remain open, with some offering sales and discounts.
