When is Independence Day 2026?

Independence Day 2026 falls on Saturday, and because that is a weekend federal offices observe it on Friday, July 3, 2026.

Independence Day 2026 gives 3 consecutive days off, Friday, July 3, 2026 to Sunday, July 5, 2026, because the holiday falls at a weekend and is observed on Friday, July 3, 2026.

This is the part that changes: the date of Independence Day moves by a day or two each year, and whether that makes a three-day weekend, a four-day one or nothing at all depends entirely on which weekday it lands on.
