Labor Day 2026 Shuts Federal Offices, Banks and Markets While Stores Largely Stay Open

The federal holiday pauses government, postal and routine delivery services and will push most in-person banking and standard package processing to the next business day.

Overview

  • Labor Day falls on Monday, Sept. 7, 2026, and federal offices, most bank branches and U.S. stock exchanges (NYSE and Nasdaq) are closed for the day.
  • The U.S. Postal Service has closed post offices and suspended regular mail delivery on Sept. 7, though Priority Mail Express continues to operate.
  • Standard UPS and FedEx pickup and delivery are suspended for the holiday, while express or critical services from those carriers may still run in some locations.
  • ATMs, mobile and online banking remain available, but many deposits and transactions will not process until the next business day, so in-person services should be done before the holiday.
  • Most grocery stores, restaurants and major retailers will be open with variable holiday hours, and Costco is a notable national chain that will be closed on Labor Day.
