About Labor Day sales
Labor Day is observed on the first Monday in September in the United States. It marks the traditional end of summer for many people, and retailers often run end-of-season promotions around the long weekend.
This countdown marks the holiday, not a guaranteed sale start date. Individual retailers may begin offers earlier or choose not to participate.
