Independence Day 2025 is just around the corner, and it's one of the nation's biggest holidays that not only commemorates important moments in history but also triggers a huge spending spree throughout the year.

In this article, we will introduce the date and historical background of Independence Day 2025, the traditional ways of celebrating it, as well as the promotions launched by major platforms and website brands on Independence Day, and provide some suggestions for your shopping trips during the holiday season to help you enjoy this red-hot holiday to the fullest.

Date and Historical Background of Independence Day

Independence Day in the United States of America is set on July 4 each year to commemorate the formal adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, declaring the independence of the United States of America from Great Britain. For this reason, Independence Day is also considered a national holiday of the United States and is a federal holiday. 

In 2025, July 4 falls on a Friday, bringing a three-day Independence Day long weekend, including the weekend, to the public. On this day, the nation's birthday is celebrated with great events across the United States.

Historically, the U.S. Congress made Independence Day a federal holiday in 1870, and it has been a paid holiday since 1941, following World War II. 2025 Independence Day marks the 249th anniversary of the founding of the United States (1776-2025), and is an important point toward the 250th anniversary of the U.S. national holiday in 2026. Independence Day embodies the spirit of the American people's quest for freedom and independence that endures.

How do Americans Celebrate Independence Day?

On Independence Day, cities and towns across the U.S. celebrate the holiday with grand and festive events. The most iconic tradition is the fireworks display: after dark, vibrant fireworks light up the night sky. Many cities open special fireworks shows, and even places where fireworks are normally prohibited often make exceptions so residents can celebrate safely in their backyards.

For example, Washington, D.C.’s National Mall hosts a spectacular fireworks show, and New York City is famous for the Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks. In 2025, the Empire State Building will also offer special events for viewing the Independence Day fireworks.

Parades and gatherings are another key part of Independence Day celebrations. During the day, many communities hold Fourth of July parades featuring marching bands playing patriotic songs, floats decorated in red, white, and blue, and performers dressed in the nation’s colors interacting with the crowd.

Historically significant cities like Philadelphia, Boston, and Washington, D.C. also host formal ceremonies, such as the ringing of the Liberty Bell, to remember the events of the American Revolutionary War.

For many families, Independence Day is a time to come together. Many Americans take advantage of the long weekend to go on vacations or host backyard barbecues (BBQs) and picnics, sharing classic American foods like grilled meats, hamburgers, and hot dogs with friends and family.

Homes and stores are decorated with red, white, and blue—the colors of the American flag—with stars and stripes banners, small flags, balloons, and more to create a festive atmosphere. In short, every July 4th, the entire nation immerses itself in patriotic joy and celebration.
