Discover the latest on July 4th closures and openings across the USA!

Americans are gearing up to celebrate Independence Day on July 4th with a host of activities, including barbecues, fireworks, and a well-deserved day off for many. While citizens enjoy the festivities, it's interesting to note that the first American spent the Fourth of July in space in 1982, marking a significant milestone in human spaceflight.

In Washington, DC, the District Government will observe the holiday with modified services, reflecting the importance of this historic day. Back in 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered a crucial address to the nation, highlighting the threats to democracy both at home and overseas.

As the nation prepares for the Fourth of July in 2024, it's essential to know what will be open and closed. Retailers and airlines are set to operate, but government offices will remain closed, aligning with the federal holiday status. Grocery store hours vary, with some like Costco, Kroger, and Publix remaining open.

Wisconsin and Texas also have their own set of openings and closures for July 4th, ensuring that residents have access to essential services while commemorating the country's history. Additionally, mail deliveries will be affected on Independence Day, adding to the list of services that will face disruptions during this time.

Did you know that no American spent the Fourth of July in space for the first 21 years of human spaceflight? This streak was broken in 1982. Also, FDR's famous 1941 address highlighted the challenges to democracy during that period, emphasizing the importance of unity and resilience in times of uncertainty.
