Whats open, closed on July 4th in the Twin Cities area
Most grocery and liquor stores will remain open on July 4th, while libraries and government offices will be closed for the holiday. Key museums, including the Walker Art Center, Mill City Museum, and Children’s Museum of Minnesota, will welcome visitors, but the Minneapolis Institute of Art and Bell Museum will not open their doors. Malls like Mall of America, along with major retailers such as Target, Sam's Club, and Walmart, will have limited hours, while Costco will be closed. Metro Transit will operate on Sunday/holiday schedules, which may affect local commuters and travelers. Parking meters will not be enforced in Minneapolis and St.
Paul, providing some relief for residents and visitors. Meanwhile, the police are asking residents near an ongoing investigation to review any exterior camera footage from 2 a. m. to 3 a. m.
Sunday. This holiday schedule reflects the balance between public service accessibility and local business operations in the Twin Cities area. These adjustments are essential for residents planning their Independence Day activities.
