Labour Day or Labour Weekend dates vary by country:
- In the United States and Canada, Labour Day is celebrated on the first Monday of September, making Labour Day weekend the preceding Saturday and Sunday plus that Monday. In 2025, Labour Day is on Monday, September 1.
- In Australia, Labour Day dates vary by state. For example, in New South Wales it is Monday, October 6, 2025; in Queensland it is Monday, May 5, 2025; in Victoria it is Monday, March 11, 2025.
- In many other countries including much of Europe and Switzerland, Labour Day coincides with International Workers' Day on May 1 each year.
- New Zealand commemorates Labour Day in October, celebrating the eight-hour working day.
Thus, Labour Weekend typically refers to the long weekend around Labour Day, the timing of which depends on the country or region. For example, in the U.S. and Canada, Labour Day Weekend in 2025 is August 30-September 1, and in Australia it varies by state. In Europe and Switzerland, Labour Day is on May 1, so Labour Weekend would be around that date.
