About Independence Day

The United States’ national day, marking the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

The date is fixed, so it lands on a different weekday each year. When 4 July falls on a Saturday the holiday is observed on Friday 3 July; when it falls on a Sunday it is observed on Monday 5 July.

Also known as the Fourth of July.

How the date is set

Always 4 July. Because the date is fixed rather than pinned to a weekday, it lands on a different day each year. When it falls on a Saturday, federal offices close the Friday before; when it falls on a Sunday, they close the Monday after.

In 2027 this matters: the holiday itself is Sunday July 4, 2027, but the day federal offices are closed is Monday July 5, 2027. The observed date is the one that counts for deadlines and business-day math.
