Planning your Labor Day? Find out what's open and what's closed so you can enjoy your holiday without a hitch!

As Labor Day 2024 approaches, it's time to get your grill fired up and your plans in order! This holiday, known as the unofficial end of summer, falls on Monday, September 2, and while many people are gearing up for a fun day of cookouts and family gatherings, it's crucial to know what's open and what stores you can pop into for those last-minute essentials. Big names like Costco, Walmart, Target, Starbucks, and McDonald's will be open, making it easy to grab supplies or that needed caffeine boost. Whether you're needing extra hot dogs or a pumpkin spice latte to kick off the fall season, you won't be left to fend for yourself!

However, don't forget to give a thought to the rights of farmworkers who, despite making our feasts possible, often lack the protections and benefits enjoyed by others in the workforce. The Maine Center for Economic Policy has been advocating for better treatment and highlighted the differences in labor rights. Being informed facilitates a deeper understanding of the labor movement's significance and the hard work that helps us celebrate these holidays.

In Wisconsin, you can dive headfirst into local traditions by attending the “largest picnic on the Capitol” in downtown Madison. It's not just a celebration of the holiday, but also a tribute to the labor movements' roots and the essential contributions of workers. So gather your friends and family, bring plenty of sunscreen, and enjoy the festivities!

As you gear up for Labor Day, here’s a handy list to remember: Most grocery and drug stores will be keeping their doors wide open for convenience. However, Costco is typically an exception on this day, adding to the mix of stores that prefer to give employees a break on federal holidays. Knowing your grocery options can save the day!

Fun Fact 1: Labor Day was first celebrated in 1894, and its purpose was to honor the American labor movement which has fought for rights and better working conditions.

Fun Fact 2: The day is also a popular time for end-of-summer sales, so you might just snag some deals on summer gear while you're out and about!
