Macy’s Labor Day sales are a great time to save on clothes and items for your home. The sale always kicks off a little early ahead of the long weekend and runs through Labor day itself, so we expect it back Labor Day week 2026.

During the event you can shop summer clearance deals, as well as low prices on furniture and mattresses. Plus, Macy's Cardholders get $10 Star Money (that’s 1,000 points) for every $50 spent with a Macy’s card throughout the sale.
