2026 Labor Day March
About this event
The annual Detroit Labor Day March organized by the AFL-CIO, stepping off from Corktown toward Roosevelt Park for a post-parade rally.
What to Expect
- 1.Plan to arrive early to park or take transit near Corktown since the march starts at 9 am and streets will be crowded.
- 2.Wear comfy shoes and bring a light layer because you'll be walking and the Detroit weather in early September can swing from cool to sunny.
- 3.Pack water and a small snack. There may be long stretches with no food options along the route before the Roosevelt Park rally.
- 4.Follow marshals and stay on the route. If you want to participate more, hold a sign or cheer with other attendees after the rally.
- 5.If you're a first timer, introduce yourself to someone nearby or chat with volunteers before the speeches start. You can leave anytime if you want.
