The City of Gaithersburg and the Gaithersburg–Washington Grove Fire Department celebrate the unofficial end of summer with the 88th Annual Labor Day Parade on Monday, September 7, 2026, at 10 a.m.
Stop by the Community Museum parking lot and Olde Towne Plaza along East Diamond Avenue from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for great food, fun activities, and a celebration of Gaithersburg’s vibrant community. Join City of Gaithersburg groups as we honor America 250 and the power of place.
The City is looking for community groups and other organizations to march in this historic parade. It’s a great way to be involved in the community and to get your group noticed, plus your unit might even win a special award. Organizations and individual volunteers are also needed to distribute program booklets, assist with the parade line-up and participate as characters in the parade.
Please note: Participation in the Labor Day Parade by groups or organizations other than City officials, departments, or committees does not constitute an endorsement by the City of Gaithersburg.
