What is closed on Independence Day?

Because the Fourth of July is a federal holiday, banks, post offices, other government offices and the stock market will all be closed. 

What is closed on July 3, 2023? Is the post office open on July 3? 

With the Fourth of July landing on a Tuesday this year, many are wondering whether stores will be open or closed on Monday as well. All stores should be open and the post office will be delivering mail on Monday, but will be closed on the Fourth of July. 

Some states, including Florida and Louisiana, have declared July 3rd this year to be a state holiday, so some offices may be closed.
