Marlborough Labor Day

The next meeting of the Marlborough Labor Day Advisory Committee will be Thursday, May 28th at 4:00pm at City Hall on the 4th floor in the Mayor's Conference room! Hope to see you there!

Happy May Day & Happy Labour Day? Let's celebrate both!

May Day is a day to celebrate the arrival of spring - FINALLY! With longer days and warmer weather, it's a welcome change!

But did you know that today is also International Labour Day?

Across the United Kingdom and much of the world, May 1 honors workers and their contributions, while here in the U.S. we continue that celebration each September with Labor Day.

Different dates, same message: hard work deserves to be recognized - and celebrated!

"2026 Is The New 2016", right?✨
Ten years ago we were posting parade pics, patriotic selfies and albums titled "Labor Day Fun".

Now? We're recreating them! 😉
Same streets. Same community pride. Just upgraded cameras and a few more memories.

Where were YOU in 2016? Who were you standing next to at the parade? Drop a photo in the comments if you've got one! 👇

Let's make 2026 the year we look back on next!

Join us at the 74th Annual Labor Day Parade this year - bring the flags, bring the family, bring the spirit of Marlborough and carry on the tradition with us! ❤️ 💙 🤍
