A video celebrating the history of the Labor Day Parade will be available on the city's Special Events Facebook page and YouTube channel on Sept. 7.
The celebration will also include a "Salute to Everyday Working Heroes." Kids participating in the city's FunZone summer camps have been recording videos to thank health care workers, grocery store clerks, and the many others working during the pandemic. Their messages can be found throughout Labor Day weekend on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
This is the second time in 82 years that there hasn't been a Labor Day Parade in Gaithersburg. The last time this happened was during World War II.
Hello Roy lots of things are being cancel from Labor Day Parades to Big 10 Football.

I'm not looking forward to this year's holiday season. Thanksgiving at my home has always been a special day. I have no idea how to observe it this year! Ditto for Christmas!

To pay tribute to the accomplishments and contributions of American workers, Gaithersburg FunZone participants will share "Salute to Everyday Working Heroes" messages throughout Labor Day weekend on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
