What is Labor Day?

Labor Day, observed on the first Monday of September in the United States, honours the American worker and the labour movement that won safer conditions, fairer hours, and the weekend itself. Born from a New York City parade on September 5, 1882, it became a federal holiday in 1894 and now also marks the symbolic end of summer.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
