Check the schedules of the trains or ferries you’re planning to take, times can change during holiday weekends. If road tripping is on the itinerary, stay up to date the minute traffic updates.
If you’re planning on bringing a gift to an out of town barbecue, check what bakeries or specialty food stores are open ahead of time in towns nearby. Order ahead, it’s fresher than bringing something with you the whole way. Find out which ones are selling 4th of July themed treats so you can have them reserved — no one likes to show up empty handed.
Make sure you know what major stores are open on the 4th for any last minute BBQ essentials.

Spending time outside is the best part of the holiday weekend, but with the warm weather you need to stay hydrated! If you’re lining up for a parade or spending the day at the beach, bring enough drinks to keep you cool. Don’t forget sunscreen, a hat, snacks, cushions to sit on, and an umbrella to stay out of the sun.
Heading to the beach or state park for fireworks? Don’t leave home without a blanket or towel to stretch out on. Stay smart and find out ahead of time if alcohol is allowed on the grounds; getting caught with an open container is one way to ruin a holiday weekend.

Have a back-up plan just in case the weather turns sour. Check movie times in the area, find out what museums are open, and if any local theater and concert tickets are still available.
If you’re flying, consider using an app to check on any airports arrivals and departures; you can even get sent alerts with real-time flight updates.
