Labor Day is Monday, Sept. 6, 2027. It is a quiet holiday in Wellington: as of Oct. 10, 2026, no Labor Day event had been announced by the village or a Wellington venue, and village trash pickup runs on the normal schedule. The day also closes out the Aquatics Center’s summer hours. We will add events here as organizers post them.

Things to do over the long weekend

No Labor Day event had been posted. Standing options:

Hurricane season

Labor Day falls in the middle of hurricane season, which runs June 1 to Nov. 30. A holiday weekend is a good time to check supplies; see our hurricane prep guide.

What this means for you

  • Put trash and recycling out as usual.
  • Last chance for summer pool hours is Labor Day itself.
  • Friday night football is in full swing by then; see Friday night football.
