In the US, even though it's the 5th it's still July 4th weekend.
Now if only Switzerland could do the same when the 1st also lands on a weekend. Which this year happens to be on Sunday.
Fat chance! Forget it.

Interesting that a large proportion of people who celebrate 4th of July in the US don't live in a state that got independence on 4th of July.
Interesting also that in America, "4th of July" falls on "July 4th"  |

Considering that the Constitution didn't get signed until August.
