About this date
Independence Day, widely known as the 4th of July, is a fixed US federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Unlike holidays tied to a weekday (unaffected by which day of the week it lands on), it's always July 4 regardless of the day of the week — some years that means a long weekend, others a midweek holiday. This page always counts down to the next upcoming Independence Day.
