What's Open, What's Closed On Labor Day

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer, and while federal government offices will be closed, many businesses will remain open.

Minnesota State Fair

One attraction that'll be open – and drawing thousands of people – is the Great Minnesota Get Together.

Labor Day marks the final day of the fair, and it'll include vendor discounts and a Grandstand concert featuring ZZ Top.

Note: The Miracle of Birth Center will close early, at 3 p.m.

Government Offices

Since Labor Day is a federal holiday, the majority of government offices will be closed.

Post Office

USPS will be closed. Additionally, UPS does not deliver on Labor Day, and FedEx only delivers priority mail on holidays.

Parking Meters

On-street meters will not be enforced in Minneapolis or St. Paul.

Note: Meters at Minneapolis parks are enforced on holidays.

Buses

Metro Transit buses in the Twin Cities will be on holiday schedule for Labor Day. As such, expect fewer buses to be in service.

Banks

Most will be closed, since Labor Day is a federal holiday. However, some locations may be open in grocery stores.

Malls, Grocery Stores & Gyms

Most will be open, but it's a good idea to call ahead to make sure.
