"Labor Day is annually held on the first Monday of September. It was
originally organized to celebrate various labor associations' strengths of and
contributions to the United States economy. It is largely a day of rest in
modern times.
The first Labor Day was held in 1882. Its origins stem from the desire of
the Central Labor Union to create a holiday for workers. It became a federal
holiday in 1894. It was originally intended that the day would be filled with a
street parade to allow the public to appreciate the work of the trade and labor
organizations. After the parade, a festival was to be held to amuse local
workers and their families. In later years, prominent men and women held
speeches. This is less common now, but is sometimes seen in election
years." --Time&Date
