Holiday countdown

How many days until Labor Day?

Count down to the next US Labor Day — the first Monday in September — at midnight local time. Useful for travel, long-weekend plans, and end-of-summer deadlines.

The date shifts each year; this page always targets the next first Monday in September. After Labor Day, it advances to next year’s holiday.

  1. 01

    Open the Labor Day countdown

    The live display counts to 00:00 on Labor Day. Share the link so everyone sees the same target.

  2. 02

    First Monday in September

    Labor Day moves every year. The facts strip and “Moves each year” chip show the rule — US first Monday in September, not May 1 (International Workers’ Day).

  3. 03

    Book the long weekend early

    Use weekends-left in the wait-read line before reserving cabins or flights. Open the calendar day to see what else is on that Monday.

When is US Labor Day?

US Labor Day is the first Monday in September — a federal holiday honoring workers and often treated as the unofficial end of summer. The exact date changes yearly.

Labor Day weekend customs

Barbecues, lake trips, retail sales, and back-to-school events fill the long weekend. Many offices close Monday while summer attractions run their last busy days.

End-of-summer planning

Compare with July 4th and Memorial Day countdowns for the summer trio. Set an ICS reminder for Monday off, and fullscreen the stage for a office “days until break” display.

Labor Day moves on the calendar. A dedicated landing computes the next first Monday in September so you do not have to look it up.
