Labor Day 2017: What's Open, What's Closed In Winnetka & Glencoe

WINNETKA, IL — The dog days of summer are winding down, and we get one last weekend before the school year and fall activities get into full swing. Labor Day 2017 is Monday, Sept. 4. And while it's a day of rest and relaxation for many, it's also a federal holiday, meaning many local services and offices will be closed.

Here's a roundup of what's closed and what'll be open in Winnetka and Glencoe, plus a look at some fun events happening in Chicagoland.

Closed

• Municipal offices
• Public Libraries
• Banks
• Schools

Open

Most big-box retailers will be open — and many are offering Labor Day deals — but smaller businesses and mom and pop stores might be closed, so it's a good idea to call ahead. Glencoe Beach will be open Sept. 2-4 between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m.
