Federal offices and the post office close, banks that follow the Federal Reserve calendar close, and most schools and many employers give the day off. Private employers decide for themselves.

Planning tip

Fireworks are heavily regulated by state and city, so check local rules, and book travel early, as the weekend around July 4 is peak summer travel.
