Best Labor Day Parties, Concerts, Festivals & Things To Do in Boston

Boston makes good use of a long weekend, and Labor Day brings most of it out at once. There's a parade to turn up for, festivals worth a slow afternoon, and concerts, parties, and live music filling the nights around town. Bring the family and a food festival or an outdoor afternoon will keep the kids going while you take it easy. If three days sounds better spent elsewhere, a weekend getaway is an easy drive. Browse Labor Day 2026 events around Boston and book your tickets before they're taken.
