Full 2025 Holiday Calendar:

The celebration of Independence Day began in 1776 when Philadelphia commemorated the first anniversary of American independence. This event was marked by a “spontaneous celebration”, which John Adams, one of the Founding Fathers, described in a letter to his daughter, Abigail. However, it wasn’t until after the War of 1812 that Fourth of July celebrations became more regular. During that time, groundbreaking events like the opening of the Erie Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were intentionally scheduled to coincide with the holiday festivities. In 1870, Congress passed a law making Independence Day an official federal holiday.
