Monday, 9/1: 39th Labor Day Picnic @ Stewart Park in Ithaca

The Tompkins County Workers’ Center will hold the 39th Annual Labor Day Picnic from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, September 1st, in Ithaca’s Stewart Park Main Pavilion. This year’s Picnic theme will be: Celebrating Unions and Strengthening Our Community.

The picnic is free and everyone is invited. Everyone is invited to bring a dish reflective of their cultural background. Free burgers (meat and veggie), hot dogs, and beverages will be provided. Featured music will be announced imminently.

The annual awards have become a highlight of the Labor Day Picnic over the years, and this year will be no different. The list of Awards has been expanded to now include: the Mother Jones Award; the A. Philip Randolph Award; the Dolores Huerta Award; the Joe Hill Award; the Chico Mendes Award; the Karen Lewis Award; the Friend of Labor Award; the Goat of Labor; as well as the Lifetime Achievement Award–all to people for their activism, organizing, and sacrifice at work.
