Whether you want pizza, a sandwich, cinnamon roll, cookie, ice cream, or a burger, you’re likely to find a Labor Day food deal.

Labor Day happens every year on the first Monday of September.

The unofficial end to the summer season takes place on the first Monday of September every year. In 2025, that means Labor Day will be on Monday, Sept. 1.
