What's Open, Closed In Milford On July 3 And 4

MILFORD, MA — The Fourth of July is going to look pretty different this year. Not only does the holiday fall on a Saturday, but many places — town and city halls in particular — are already shut down due to coronavirus.

For the most part, there are no July 4 celebrations happening in Massachusetts this weekend. But if you're planning a celebration at home, here's an idea of what stores and other services are going to be available Friday and Saturday.

• Retail stores: Open at owner's discretion
• Liquor stores: Open in general
• Supermarkets: Open, but check your local store for reduced hours
• Convenience stores: Open in general

• Libraries: Closed
• Stock market: Closed Friday
• Municipal, state, federal offices: Closed
• Mail: Post offices closed; express delivery only
