    When is Independence Day?

    US Independence Day is July 4 every year — the anniversary of the 1776 adoption of the Declaration of Independence. This countdown targets midnight at the start of July 4 locally.

    Fourth of July customs

    Parades, barbecues, beach trips, and fireworks shows are staples. Many towns hold concerts and public displays; private gatherings often start in the afternoon.

    Summer event planning

    Pair with Memorial Day and Labor Day countdowns for the full summer holiday arc. Add ICS for a block party, and share the link when coordinating who brings what.

    Why a July 4th countdown URL

    Independence Day is a fixed, high-intent date. Prefilling July 4 saves a step versus picking the date manually each summer.
