How the date works
Independence Day is always July 4, so the weekday changes every year.
When July 4 falls on a Saturday, federal employees get the Friday before off. When it falls on a Sunday, the Monday after is the observed holiday.
Banks and the post office follow the federal observed date, with a small exception: the Federal Reserve does not close for a Saturday holiday, so some banks stay open on the Friday.
The US stock market closes on the Friday before when July 4 is a Saturday, and on the Monday after when it is a Sunday.
July 4, 2026 is the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence (1776).
