Are Target, Walmart and Home Depot open on July 4, 2024? See retail store hours and details

Consumers who need a last-minute outfit or swimwear for their Fourth of July celebration are in luck this year.

While banks and post offices in the United States will be closed on Thursday, most retail stores will be open on the holiday. Grocery stores and restaurants will also largely remain open.

Companies like Target, Walmart, Home Depot and Macy’s will keep their doors open on July 4, but most will close early.

The origins of the Fourth of July date back to the time when Philadelphians celebrated the first anniversary of American independence with a “spontaneous celebration,” described in a letter from John Adams to his daughter Abigail, according to the Library of Congress.

However, annual observance of the holiday did not become a regular occurrence until after the War of 1812, when events such as the groundbreaking ceremonies for the Erie Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were scheduled to coincide with the Fourth of July celebrations. Congress passed a law on June 28, 1870, making Independence Day a federal holiday.
