Banks and post offices will be closed on Thursday, July 4, for Independence Day. However, most major restaurant, grocery, and retail chains will remain open on the holiday.
Companies like Walmart, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, Target and many more will be open for business on the federal holiday this year. However, the stock market will also be closed on Thursday.
The origins of the Fourth of July date back to the time when Philadelphians celebrated the first anniversary of American independence with a “spontaneous celebration.” According to the Library of Congress, this event is described in a letter from John Adams to his daughter Abigail.
However, annual observance of the holiday did not become a regular feature until after the War of 1812, when events such as the laying of the cornerstones of the Erie Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were scheduled to coincide with Fourth of July festivities. Congress passed a law making Independence Day a federal holiday on June 28, 1870.
Here’s what you need to know about what’s open and closed on July 4th this year.
