Labor Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September. This year, it is next Monday. September 6^th.  

The first Labor Day in the United States was celebrated on September 5, 1882 in New York City.

The form for the celebration of Labor Day was outlined thus:

A street parade to exhibit to the public "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations," followed by a festival for the workers and their families. This became the pattern for Labor Day celebrations..

Traditionally, Labor Day is celebrated by most Americans as the symbolic end of the summer. The holiday is often regarded as a day of rest and parades.

Forms of celebration include picnics, barbecues, fireworks displays, water sports, and public art events. Similarly, some teenagers and young adults view it as the last weekend for parties before returning to school, although school starting times now vary.
