If you’re looking for end-of-summer deals on clothing, patio items, home decor, and furniture, you won’t want to miss Target Labor Day deals.

Target usually starts their sale just as the holiday weekend kicks off. And to make room on the shelves for early Target Black Friday deals, Target must first offload their remaining summer items. This makes Labor Day weekend the perfect time for them to mark down what’s left, not to mention low back-to-school prices on Target school supplies.

We laid out all the best Target deals we saw for Labor Day 2024 to help you score the biggest savings in 2025.

The Target Labor Day Sale is a once-a-year, 5-day sale with deals on home items, clothing, and more.

To coincide with Labor Day weekend, Target usually holds a 5-day sale with deals across departments. The biggest discounts are typically on home items, with deals up to 43% off if you use your Target Circle Card.

You can shop for Labor Day deals in stores, online, or in the Target app. But you won’t necessarily find the same deals online as in stores.

KCL predicts the next Target Labor Day Sale will start on Thursday, Aug. 28, 2025.

In 2024, the Target Labor Day Sale started on Thursday, Aug. 29, 2024, and continued through Monday, Sept. 2, 2024. Given that pattern, we expect to see the sale kick off on the Thursday before Labor Day in 2025.

Is Target open on Labor Day?

Yes, Target is open on Labor Day during normal business hours. Target stores are generally open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., but always check with your local Target to confirm their holiday hours are the same.

Target drops gift card promos in their weekly ad every Sunday. These offers give you a free Target gift card when you spend a certain amount on an item or category, or sometimes when you use Target pickup or delivery. You can earn free Target gift cards when you purchase diapers, household items, beauty, personal care, and more.

3. Grab cheap Target school supplies while you shop for Labor Day deals.

Classes may already be in session, but Labor Day weekend is still the perfect time to pick up last-minute Target back-to-school supplies.

Target has some great deals on Crayola products (like crayons, markers, colored pencils, and coloring books), plus super low prices on Up & Up school supplies (that’s one of Target’s store brands).

4. Pay with your Target Circle Card to save an extra 5% on Labor Day deals.

You can sign up for a Circle Card credit card, debit card, or reloadable account. Circle Card members also get longer return windows and free shipping with no minimums.
