When the Fourth of July creates a long weekend, customers need to know which days you are open, which days you are closed, and when regular hours return. This landscape US Letter sign takes inspiration from the American flag itself. The left side is a deep navy panel with rows of white stars, a brush script Fourth of July title and WEEKEND HOURS in tall white capitals, with the store name below. The right side shows bold red and white stripes, and a white rounded card with a soft shadow sits over them, listing five days of hours from Friday to Tuesday. Closed days appear in red, and a final italic line wishes customers a safe and happy Fourth.
A Flag-Inspired Layout
Splitting the page into a star field and stripes creates an instantly recognisable patriotic design without using a literal flag image. The white card floats over the stripes, keeping the hours easy to read. The bold condensed WEEKEND HOURS headline adds a modern, sporty touch.
The 2027 Fourth of July Weekend
In 2027, Independence Day falls on Sunday, July 4, and the federal holiday is observed on Monday, July 5. The sample card shows Friday, July 2, 8 AM to 8 PM; Saturday, July 3, 8 AM to 4 PM; Sunday, July 4, closed; Monday, July 5, closed; and Tuesday, July 6, regular hours. Adjust the days for your schedule and for future years.
Editing the Weekend Hours
Each row has a day on the left and hours on the right, with a dotted divider in between. Click any text to change it. To add a row, duplicate a pair of text boxes and move them into place, then adjust the card height if needed.
The Star Field Panel
The navy panel holds thirty white stars in staggered rows, grouped so they can be moved or resized together. The script title and headline sit below the stars, followed by the store name and address in light blue. Change the store details by clicking the text.
The Red and White Stripes
Thirteen red and white stripes fill the right side, a nod to the original colonies. They are grouped, so you can recolour them all at once, for example, to soften the red to a brick shade.
Why Landscape Works Here
The landscape format suits wide shop windows, counters and digital screens. It also works as a header image for emails and as a Facebook post. If you need a portrait sign, our category includes a portrait Independence Day closure sign with bunting.
Fourth of July Hours for Grocery and Liquor Stores
Grocery, liquor, and convenience stores are busy before the Fourth as people shop for barbecues. Many extend hours on Friday and Saturday and open for limited hours on the Fourth itself. Use the card to highlight these extended hours.
Printing the Landscape July 4th Sign
Download a PDF and print in landscape on US Letter paper. The bold colours look best on a laser printer. For a window poster, print at 17 x 11 inches or larger at a print shop.
Sharing Fourth of July Hours by Email
Share the image on Facebook, Instagram, and in your email newsletter. Wide images work particularly well in emails and on Facebook. Include the closed days in your post text so customers see them even without opening the image.
Patriotic Colour Options
The classic navy, red and white palette is ideal for the Fourth. For a vintage look, use a muted navy, brick red, and cream. For a bolder look, brighten the red. Keep the card white or cream so the hours stand out.
Summer Holiday Staffing
Summer holidays coincide with vacation season, so staffing can be tight. Plan schedules early and give staff a fair chance to enjoy the long weekend. A clear hours sign means you can close on the days you choose without confusing customers.
Fourth of July Restaurant Hours
Restaurants, bars, and ice cream shops can use the card to list special hours, such as open late for fireworks viewing or closed on July 5 to rest the team. Add a line about outdoor seating or fireworks views if you have them.
Weekend Hours Signs for Other Holidays
The split layout works for other patriotic holidays, such as Memorial Day, Labor Day weekend, or Veterans Day. Change the script title and the days in the card. Our category includes dedicated signs for many of these holidays.
Long Weekend Tips for Small Businesses
Long weekends can be quiet for some businesses and busy for others. Review last year’s sales to decide whether opening on the observed holiday is worthwhile. If you close, use the time to rest and recharge for the busy summer months.

Weekend Hours for Pools and Parks
Public pools, water parks and recreation centres often run extended hours over the Fourth of July weekend, with fireworks viewing in the evening. Use the card to list pool hours, lifeguard times, and the closing time on fireworks night. Families planning a day out will appreciate seeing everything on one sign.
Lake and Beach Business Hours
Businesses in lake and beach towns see their busiest weekend of the year around the Fourth. Boat rentals, ice cream stands, and gift shops may open early and close late. The white card can list these extended hours, and the patriotic design fits the holiday atmosphere of a summer town.
Fourth of July Hours for Farmers Markets
Farmers markets that usually run on Saturdays may shift their hours or add a pre-holiday market. The landscape card is a handy way to show the changed market times to regular shoppers.
