Wasn’t that long ago. Just 6 years ago, i.e., 2017.
6 (or 5) year gaps are the norm for this type of repeating holiday given that we have 7 days in a week. So, we essentially cycle through the week. Leap years mess this up & we then get a 11 year gap. That happened prior to 2017. So, the previous July 4th on a Tuesday was in 2006. The next one will be in 2028.
Last year it was a on a Monday. That gave everyone a long 3-day weekend. This year some lucky folks MIGHT get a 4-day weekend.
