Independence Day
Independence Day, July 4, commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
History
The fixed-date holiday on July 4 falls between academic years on the standard August-to-July cycle, which is exactly why our printable calendars treat it as the symbolic close of one academic year and the gateway to the next.
On academic calendars
Year-round schools and summer enrichment programs uniformly close on July 4. When the date lands on a Saturday or Sunday, the federal observance shifts but most schools treat the calendar date itself as the holiday.
Dates by year
Below is the full schedule for Independence Day from 2020 through 2035. The "observed" date matches the actual date in most years; it differs only when the statutory date lands on a Saturday or Sunday, in which case federal offices observe the holiday on the adjacent weekday per OPM rules.
