Bridge day check
Falls on a Friday, so it makes a three-day weekend with no leave needed.
What the day is for
The Fourth of July: fireworks, parades, cookouts and, in most towns, a municipal display after dark. Federal since 1870.
Do shops and banks close?
Federal offices and banks close; most retail and restaurants open, often with sales.
Getting around
Heavy road travel around the date; city centres close streets for parades and evening fireworks.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
