Labor Day is a public holiday celebrated every year on the first Monday in September dedicated to all workers in the country and their contributions to society. This year it falls on September 2, 2024.
Labor Day is different from most public holidays in that it is not imbued with traditions and customs and is for most merely a wonderful extra day off offering a welcomed long weekend to sort of bid farewell to the scorching days of summer. In fact this holiday marks the "unofficial" end of the summer vacation season. So take advantage of the long weekend doing as much or as little as your heart desires. Whether relaxing by the beach, exploring the city's outdoor spaces and parks, enjoying a cruise on the bay, catching a game or two or getting out of town, there's always something for everyone with much going on throughout the city.
For nature lovers, our turtles are just ending their nesting season so don't miss the last chances for the nesting, hatchling and release programs.
Here's what's happening this Labor Day in Miami, get outdoors and enjoy!
