Independence Day — a time for grilling, fireworks, deal hunting — and Macy’s Fourth of July sale (an annual event for the department retailer).

The Macy's 2025 Fourth of July sale ended July 6, and we're expecting the 2026 sale to kick off July 1, 2026. So get your Macy's coupons ready and plan to add them to markdowns on kids' apparel, small appliances, swimwear, towels, and more during the Fourth of July event.

Macy's Fourth of July Sale is a once-a-year, weeklong sale with savings up to 60% across all departments.

Each year Macy's celebrates Independence Day with a weeklong sale featuring savings of up to 70% on everything from apparel to mattresses. This particular sale happens once annually, typically two weeks before Macy's Black Friday in July sale. This is one of Macy's bigger sales, and it happens just once a year, unlike its more regular sales like the Macy's One Day Sale or regular Macy’s clearance, which is available to shop every day of the week.

KCL predicts the next Macy's Fourth of July sale will run July 1 - 6, 2026

Macy's July 4 sale 2025 dates

How do we make our prediction?

In 2024 and 2025, Macy's ran this sale from July 1 through July 6. For the three years prior to that, Macy's started their Fourth of July sale on June 28. We think that the July 1 kickoff is going to become an annual thing for the retailer.

Here's a look at previous start dates for this sale:

  • July 1, 2025

  • July 1, 2024

  • June 28, 2023

  • June 28, 2022

  • June 28, 2021

Best Macy's Fourth of July Deals From the Last Sale

To give you an idea of what to expect from the 2026 sale, here are some of our favorite deals from the 2025 sale:

Rewards members may get Star Reward bonuses during the sale.

If you're a Macy's Rewards member, keep an eye out for bonus offers. If there's a Star Rewards bonus during a major Macy's sale, that bonus is usually either $10 in Star Money (1,000 bonus points) or $20 in star money (2,000 bonus points) for every $100 spent. Rules vary on which products earn this bonus. Normally, you get just 1 Star Point per dollar spent. To get this bonus (if it's available during the Fourth of July sale), you’ll need to be in the Macy’s Star Rewards program, which you can join for free.
