Labor Day weekend is expected to be exceptionally busy across the U.S. with various events, travel, and closures. Major airports, including those in Houston, Denver, Atlanta, Seattle, and Dallas, are preparing for record passenger volumes, urging travelers to arrive early and plan for delays due to construction and cyberattack impacts. Local events such as parades in Montgomery County and Kensington, MD, will take place, while many city services and government offices will be closed. The Maryland State Highway Administration advises off-peak travel times to avoid traffic congestion. Public safety services will remain operational, and parks and trails will be open in most areas. Gas prices remain relatively stable, with slight decreases compared to last year in some regions.
