Quick answer

The Fourth of July 2027 falls on Sunday, July 4, 2027. It is a US federal holiday celebrating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Because it falls on a Sunday, the federal holiday is observed on Monday, July 5, 2027.

Why July 4?

The Continental Congress voted for independence on July 2, 1776, and adopted the final text of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. John Adams expected July 2 to become the great national holiday, but the date printed on the Declaration won out. Congress made Independence Day a federal holiday in 1870. 2027 marks the 251st anniversary.

Fourth of July planning

  • Fireworks: check your city's official show time and viewing spots. Rules on consumer fireworks vary by state and city.
  • Travel: the holiday week is one of the busiest road-travel periods of the year. Leave early or late.
  • Pets: fireworks frighten many dogs; keep them indoors with ID tags on.
  • Grilling: keep the grill well away from the house and never leave it unattended.

What's closed on July 4?

Federal offices, banks, the US Postal Service and stock markets close on the federal holiday (or the observed day when July 4 is on a weekend). Most stores and restaurants stay open, often with shorter hours.
