Lowe’s Labor Day Sale usually lasts for nearly two weeks, giving shoppers a chance to scoop up end-of-summer savings before Lowe’s Halloween decorations hit the shelves.
In 2026, we expect the sale to start Thursday, Aug. 20, and run through Wednesday, Sept. 2. Based on past years, look for at least 30% off select appliances, mums, and HGTV paint. Plus, in prior years, there have been doorbusters for MyLowes Rewards Members . And don’t forget Lowe’s year-round perks like free shipping on qualifying orders of $45 or more, free delivery on many larger items, and Lowe's curbside pickup if you want your haul right away.
Lowe's Labor Day Sale is a 14-day, end-of-summer clearance event.
The 2025 Lowe’s Labor Day Sale is the best time of the year to buy summer patio items, because the home improvement store needs to make room for their fall and winter inventory (like the Lowe’s Halloween decorations). That means clearance prices on outdoor seating, dining, conversation sets, umbrellas, and more. The sale is a full 14 days that runs from the Thursday before Labor Day weekend until the Wednesday after Labor Day.
KCL predicts the next Lowe's Labor Day Sale will begin Thursday, Aug. 27, 2026.
We expect the 2026 Lowe’s Labor Day Sale to start Thursday, Aug. 27, and run through Wednesday, Sept. 9.
How do we make this prediction?
In 2025, the sale ran from Thursday, Aug. 21, through Wednesday, Sept. 3. Based on this pattern, we anticipate Lowe’s will once again hold a roughly 2-week sale, starting two Thursdays before Labor Day and ending the Wednesday after.
Some deals are available for the full two weeks of the sale, but others are only available for the first Labor Day ad. This is how the sale went in 2025:
-
Week 1: Aug. 21 - 27, 2025
-
Week 2: Aug. 28 – Sep. 3, 2025 — includes Doorbuster Deals that are exclusive to MyRewards members
Some deals are in-store only.
You’ll find deals in stores and online, but select Garden Center buys and Doorbusters will be available in stores only.
Look for Garden Center deals on mums, mulch, and soil.
You won’t find the same low prices that Lowe’s dropped for SpringFest and Memorial Day sales earlier this year. But you’ll score a few discounts on mulch, plants, soil, and fertilizer if you need to stock up before next season.
For Labor Day 2025, some of the best Lowe’s Garden Center deals included $1 pint annuals, two for $8 3-quart mums, and three for $10 garden soil.
