Fourth of July: Are banks, post offices, UPS and FedEx open?

The Fourth of July is probably one of the most festive days in America. The commemoration of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, became a federal holiday on June 28, 1870.

For many Americans, the day is up for celebration, including gatherings, parades, and, of course, fireworks. Or maybe, you just want to take the day for yourself, and indulge in a movie marathon.

However, if you are wondering what you can and cannot do, including which stores are open, you’re not alone. While grocery stores and restaurants will largely remain open, as the Fourth of July is a federal holiday, banks and the US Post Service offices will be closed.
