Also known as Independence Day, the holiday celebrates the Second Continental Congress’s unanimous adoption of the Declaration of Independence, which occurred on July 4, 1776. The document also marked the establishment of the United States as a sovereign nation, declaring its independence from Great Britain.

The Fourth of July is considered a federal holiday in the U.S., meaning all banks will be closed. However, online banking and ATMs will be accessible. The stock market and the United States Postal Service will also be shut for the day.

Many Americans have the day off from work and will flock to beaches and lakes, with plans to spend the day in the sun and see fireworks at night. However, we should all be planning for our annual Fourth of July barbecues accordingly, since some grocery stores and retailers won’t be open at all on the holiday.

Here’s what stores are open and closed on July 4 this year.
