Labor Day Holiday Parades and Events

Paul Bunyan Labor Day Parade in Fort Bragg celebrates the fictional lumberjack, a burly guy who could wield a mighty ax and cut down big trees with ease. Paul Bunyan Days festival weekend celebrates with log sawing contests and other physical challenges, as well as a festival with music, food and the parade.

Labor Day, the federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September, was created over 100 years ago to celebrate and pay tribute to the economic and social contributions of workers.  Most Americans see it as the end of summer, the last chance to take a vacation before the kids go back to school, the last time to relax and go to the beaches and mountains before ski season. It's as much a state of mind as a day off. For sports fans, it also is an exciting time-- NFL, college football and NCAA teams usually play their first games, with basketball  soon on its way.
