With labor day right around the corner, learn a little bit about why we celebrate this holiday. 

Labor Day was originally celebrated as a “workers’ holiday,” often followed with a large parade beginning in 1882. This tradition started in New York, spread across the country, and was a needed break for workers who often worked twelve-hour work days, seven days a week. 

Through the years, the holiday has changed. Parades have been replaced by long weekends with hotdogs, friends, and family.
