City of Rochester Labor Day Parade
Written by Tariq on September 1, 2025
Hundreds of union members and their supporters will march through the streets of Rochester’s East End for the annual Labor Day Parade. The parade will begin at East Avenue and Alexander Street at 11 a.m. It will continue down East Avenue to Main Street, then it heads west to conclude at Main and St. Paul streets. Union members will be joined by marching bands, dance groups, trucks, and people holding banners.
After the parade, labor union leaders and local elected officials will speak at Innovative Field starting at 1:30 p.m. The Rochester & Genesee Valley Area Labor Federation and local unions are organizing the conference. Labor Day celebrates the contributions of American workers. It has roots in the 19th-century labor movement, where workers organized to demand better conditions, and it became a federal holiday in 1894.
