Walmart’s July Fourth hours in 2025 are expected to follow the retailer’s regular schedule. Most Walmart stores will be open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., giving shoppers plenty of time to make a stop before heading to parades, cookouts, or fireworks.

According to a Walmart spokesperson, “Unless otherwise required by state or local regulations, all Walmart stores will be open regular hours on July 4. Most stores hours of operation are 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. local time.” That means a majority of Walmart stores will be open during normal business hours on Independence Day this year.
