About Labor Day
Grover Cleveland signed the law that made Labor Day a federal holiday in 1894. The first parade was held in New York City in September 1882, organized by the Central Labor Union. Most schools are closed too.
Most people treat it as the end of summer, with one last long weekend of cookouts and trips. Stores stay open and run big sales. Canada holds Labour Day on the same Monday.

About this count
Each midnight takes one off the 324. Today is left out and September 6 itself is counted, so on Sunday, September 5 the page will show 1 day to go. US clocks go back on Sunday, November 1 and forward again on Sunday, March 14, 2027, which changes the hours but not the number of days.
In Excel or Google Sheets, =DATE(2027,9,6)-TODAY() gives the same 324 today; add 1 to count today as well.
This countdown to Labor Day 2027 was worked out on Saturday, October 17, 2026 (US Eastern time), and your browser recounts it from your own date when the page opens.
