Labor Day means back-to-school, an explosion of Pumpkin Spice products (like Starbucks PSLs), plus Halloween decor, costumes, and candy on store shelves. However, we can’t say hello to all things fall without a proper send-off to summer with Labor Day celebrations.
Like every year, a slew of restaurants are offering cheap and free food over the Labor Day holiday weekend. Here's a look at what we expect to see next year, based on what we saw in 2024.

On Labor Day, national restaurants and stores offer free and discounted food.
Sit-down restaurants, fast-food joints, convenience stores, and store brands celebrate Labor Day every year by offering gift card deals, free or cheap menu items, and cashback/rebates. Whether you want pizza, a sandwich, cinnamon roll, cookie, ice cream, or a burger, you’re likely to find a Labor Day food deal.
Labor Day happens every year on the first Monday of September.
The unofficial end to the summer season takes place on the first Monday of September every year. In 2025, that means Labor Day will be on Monday, Sept. 1.
