Wondering what’s open and closed this 4th of July? As America celebrates Independence Day on Friday, July 4, 2025, many services and businesses will adjust their hours or shut down completely.

Major retailers like Costco will be closed, but stores like Walmart, Target, CVS, and Walgreens will remain open, some with reduced hours. Restaurants and fast food chains will mostly operate as usual, though it’s best to check locally for specific hours. Parks, public transportation, and recreational spots are expected to stay open, often running on a holiday or weekend schedule. Whether you’re planning a BBQ, shopping run, or quick errand, check ahead—this guide ensures you don’t show up to a locked door on the Fourth of July.
