When is fall break? Here is the list of fall holidays, including Labor Day, Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples Day, Halloween, Veterans Day, and Thanksgiving.
The first Labor Day was celebrated in New York City in 1882, when union activists lobbied for a nationwide holiday to recognize the contributions of American workers.
By 1894, 23 states had adopted Labor Day, and that year President Grover Cleveland signed a law declaring the first Monday in September of each year a national holiday, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. And on Monday, September 2, 142 years after the first day, the last Labor Day will be celebrated nationwide.
Most schools, offices and banks will be closed this three-day weekend, as will the U.S. Postal Service, so many people will be out and about, and many other people will be shopping at the Labor Day sales.
Most retail and grocery stores, restaurants and pharmacies are open, but some may have special holiday hours, so please call or check ahead.
