United StatesAs the United States prepares to celebrate the 250th anniversary of its independence on July 4, 2026, many Americans are planning to attend fireworks displays and barbecues over the weekend.

Costco will be closed on July 4. USPS will operate normally on July 3 but will close on July 4, resuming services on July 6. UPS will continue delivery services on July 3 but will halt them on July 4, while FedEx may have closures on both days.
