How the date of the 4th of July is set
Independence Day marks the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, so the date never moves.
The day off can move. Under federal rules, when July 4 falls on a Saturday, federal workers get Friday July 3 off; when it falls on a Sunday, they get Monday July 5. Most private employers follow the same pattern, but they don't have to.
Is the 4th of July a day off?
It is a federal holiday across the US, and most offices, banks and schools close. Fireworks are usually held on the evening of July 4 itself, even when the day off moves.
Other countries have their own independence or national days, such as Canada Day on July 1 and India's Independence Day on August 15.
Planning around it? The working days in the answer box count Monday to Friday only. Take out any public holidays in between, or use the date calculator to count from another date.

Frequently asked questions
What day of the week is the 4th of July 2027?
The 4th of July 2027 is on Sunday, July 4, 2027. In 2028 it falls on Tuesday, July 4, 2028.
Is the stock market open on the 4th of July?
No. The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq close for Independence Day, on the observed day when July 4 falls on a weekend. They often close early on July 3.
Is July 3 a holiday?

Why does the live clock show one day less than the days count?
The days count is calendar days: tomorrow is 1 day away. The clock counts real time to midnight at the start of the 4th of July, so with the 4th of July two days away it shows 1 day and some hours. Both are right; they answer slightly different questions.
