Labor Day 2019 In Arlington: What's Open, What's Closed

ARLINGTON, VA — For some people, this is the most wonderful time of the year: schools are opening, football is back on TV, and the trees are getting ready to fade from green. It also means Labor Day is almost here.

Labor Day is a federal holiday always celebrated on the first Monday in September. It is intended to honor the American labor movement and the contributions workers have made to this country. Labor Day was started in the late 19th century, promoted by unions which organized the first parade in New York City.

Labor Day means lots of closures in our area, but some places will be open. Here's what you can expect for Arlington, according to the county's website:
