While many other holidays, like Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Etc., are celebrated on Mondays to extend the weekend, the 4th of July is celebrated each year on the actual day. Therefore, banks, etc., will be closed on Tuesday. However, like Lisa said, since it is on a Tuesday, many will take Monday off as well to take advantage of a long weekend to enjoy with family, friends, and company.

St. Island has a Fourth of July parade on Tuesday. My kids are working as cartoon characters and marching. After that, we will head out to a barbecue/swimming party. Should be fun. S
