What about schools and colleges? Are summer classes canceled?

Yes, most schools are closed for the holiday.

Since it’s summer, many K–12 schools are already on summer break. But for schools that hold summer classes, those typically follow the federal holiday schedule. That means classes are not held on July 4. If you're enrolled in a university program or summer session, it’s best to check directly with your school or district.

Are stores and restaurants open on the Fourth of July?

Many stores and restaurants will remain open — but with some exceptions.

• Sam’s Club, a competitor owned by Walmart (WMT +0.77%), will be open but may close early.

• Patio furniture
  
  
• Appliances
