LaborFest

In 2024 things were looking up for labor unions; 2025 has been a much different story, particularly for federal workers. If you’re enjoying a day off on Labor Day, it’s due to the efforts of the labor movement; say thanks to laborers and unions at the annual LaborFest celebration, hosted by the South Central Federation of Labor. There’s activities for the kids and magic shows at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. A solidarity roll call is at 2 p.m., plus music by The Periodicals (noon) and VO5 (3 p.m.) will entertain the adults. Food carts will be on hand for a little nosh, and bring gift cards and school supplies for distribution to homeless students in the Madison schools Transition Education Program.
