Here’s a rundown of what’s open and what’s closed in Boston on Labor Day. We’ll also keep up with parking information, trash schedules, and changes to MBTA schedules for Monday, September 7, 2015.
This is an outdated post. We have created a permanent Labor Day holiday resource page that we’ll update each year with new information. This will keep our readers from finding outdated pages like this one.
