What stores are open and closed in Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky on Labor Day
Labor Day, a national holiday that honors the American labor movement and modern workers, is Monday, Sept. 4.
Labor Day is observed annually in the U.S. on the first Monday in September since President Grover Cleveland signed it into law in 1894. Labor Day also signifies the end of summer and falls on the weekend of Riverfest and the Western & Southern WEBN fireworks, Cincinnati's annual end-of-season extravaganza that brings hundreds of thousands of people to the banks of the Ohio River.
As a result of the holiday, some of the businesses or services you usually use may be closed on Monday. Here's a list of what will be open and closed on Labor Day.
What's open and closed for Labor Day on Sept. 4?
