UPS is closed on the Fourth of July. It's one of the few holidays that UPS recognizes, according to its website. "UPS is closed on New Year’s (Jan 1), Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Jan 20), Independence Day (July 4), Thanksgiving (Nov 27), and Christmas Day (Dec 25)," the UPS website says.

Friday marks the 249 th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence — and the Fourth of July holiday has become one filled with fireworks, musical celebrations and other flag-waving opportunities.

The Nasdaq Stock Market and New York Stock Exchange will be closed on Friday in observance of the Fourth of July. Bond markets will also be closed, as will NYSE American Equities, NYSE Arca Equities, NYSE National, NYSE Texas, and NYSE options markets. These exchanges and markets will reopen at their regular times on Monday, July 7.
