About this countdown
Labor Day is the first Monday in September, in the US and in Canada, where it is spelled Labour Day. It is the long weekend that closes out summer. This page counts the calendar days until the next one.
- Labor Day 2027 is Monday, September 6.
- It became a federal holiday in 1894. The date can be anywhere from September 1 to September 7.
- A lot of school districts start just before or just after it, so it is often where a summer countdown really ends.
Questions people ask
How many days until Labor Day?
The number at the top of this page, counted in whole days in your own time zone, with today not included.
Why is Labor Day in September and not on May 1?
When the US made it a federal holiday in 1894, a September date kept it apart from May Day, which was linked with more radical labor movements at the time. Most other countries mark the day on May 1.
Is Labor Day the end of summer?
Unofficially, yes. On the calendar, summer lasts until the September equinox, around September 22.
