First celebrated in 1882, Labor Day was started as a holiday to celebrate the American worker; it is better known today as the last long weekend of the summer. What better way to say goodbye to long hot days than by having a parade? Tourists and city residents get together along Fifth Avenue to watch as high school bands, politicians, police and fire departments, and many other colorful displays parade past in honor of workers everywhere, past and present.
