About the countdown to Independence Day
The Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776, though most delegates actually signed the document weeks later.
Because the date is fixed, the weekday shifts each year, which affects long-weekend planning.
The counter above reads from your device clock and refreshes every second, so the days, hours, minutes and seconds always reflect the time remaining right now. The next Independence Day falls in ISO week 26 of 2027. When the day arrives the page says so instead of showing a zero, and from the following day it moves its target to 2028, so the countdown never runs out of road.
