About Independence Day (July 4th)
Independence Day is July 4, a US federal holiday. When it falls on a Saturday the federal day off is Friday July 3; on a Sunday it is Monday July 5. A Thursday or Tuesday Fourth creates the informal four-day weekend that drives the year's peak in domestic road travel.
Most city fireworks start 9:00โ9:30 pm local time; large shows publish road closures about a week ahead. Consumer fireworks are legal in most states but banned in Massachusetts and restricted in several others, so check local rules before the countdown hits zero.
