Here Are McDonald's 4th of July Hours, in Case You're Craving a McFlurry

Independence Day is nearly here—and we’re absolutely lovin’ it, especially because it's on a Sunday! We’re sure you’ve been busy thinking about 4th of July party ideas, especially if you didn't have the big backyard bash you wanted last year. You've been putting the finishing touches on Fourth of July party decorations, cute 4th of July crafts—such as a handmade wreath or DIY Mason jar—and a playlist of patriotic country songs just waiting to be queued up. You've also been making an 4th of July menu filled with all your favorite 4th of July recipes. Whatever you choose to serve, it’s all bound to be downright delicious. And of course, we're already hoping to end the evening with a stunning fireworks display.

Now, with so many tasks already done and so many things still to do, you’re definitely going to be in the mood for a bite to keep you going. (Especially if you’re hosting all the events this year!) Because you’re doing so much cooking already, you should let someone else make a meal for you. Out of the many options available, where can you go for a quick, affordable, and tasty meal? McDonald’s, of course!

But before you jump in your car and head to the Golden Arches, you’re going to need to know the answer to a very important question:

Is McDonald’s Open on the 4th of July?

Many outlets of the fast food chain are open every year on the 4th. In fact, the home of the Big Mac is typically open for many major holidays—sometimes even including Christmas Day and Easter Sunday. But there's a catch: It depends on the exact location.

As a company spokesperson previously told CountryLiving.com, "Ninety-five percent of McDonald's restaurants are independently owned and operated, so the holiday business hours will vary by location. The best way to determine hours for your local McDonald's is to call ahead of your visit to confirm their hours." Keep in mind that, while most locations are are now fully operational, some are still limiting hours or in-store seating due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The safest bet is to check the restaurant locator to find the hours of the McDonald's near you.

Well, there you have it. Whether you're craving a McFlurry, Chicken McNuggets, or an order of French fries, simply double-check with your local restaurant before heading out. (You can also swing by these restaurants and grocery stores that will be open on the 4th of July too.)
