Labor Day means back to school, an explosion of Pumpkin Spice products (like Starbucks PS Ls ), plus Halloween decor, costumes , and candy on store shelves. However, we can’t say hello to all things fall without a proper send-off to summer with Labor Day celebrations.
Like every year, a slew of restaurants offer cheap and free food over the Labor Day holiday weekend.
So what can you expect for Labor Day 2026? Here are all the deals we anticipate for next year, based on the offers from the last event.
Offers, prices, savings, and local participation may vary.
Labor Day is an annual holiday when national restaurants and stores offer free and discounted food.
Sit-down restaurants, fast-food joints, convenience stores, and store brands celebrate Labor Day every year by offering free or cheap menu items, and cash back/rebates. 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 is Monday, Sept. 7, 2026
The unofficial end to the summer season takes place on the first Monday of September every year. In 2026, that means Labor Day will be on Monday, Sept. 7.
