Join AGMA in Celebrating the Labor Day Across the Country
Labor Day is a celebration of workers, unions, and the power of solidarity. Each year, AGMA members across the nation take to the streets, parks, and community spaces to proudly represent our union in local parades, rallies, breakfasts, and picnics.
This page is your one-stop shop for all things Labor Day! Whether you’re marching with fellow AGMA members in a parade or attending your first community event, we’ve got you covered. AGMA is actively updating this page as we’re made aware of Labor Day festivities happening across our AGMA Areas, so be sure to check back regularly for updates on parades, rallies, breakfasts, and more! For a full and growing list of Labor Day events happening across the country, visit the AFL-CIO’s official Labor Day site.
