DEDHAM, MA— Fourth of July is slated to look different this year due to the ongoing pandemic. Dedham's fireworks and celebrations are cancelled, leaving residents to find ways to celebrate at home. But one thing we can count on is a scheduled holiday.
Because July 4 falls on a Saturday, the Independence Day holiday is observed on Friday, July 3. Government offices will be closed, and other services will have schedule changes.
