Why count down to Independence Day?
The Fourth of July is the United States' most unambiguously celebratory holiday - Fireworks, cookouts, parades, and the satisfaction of a long summer weekend. Sharing a countdown in the days before builds the anticipation and gives everyone in your group a shared clock counting toward the moment the sky lights up.

Countdown ideas
Share this link with your neighborhood group or family to count down to the fireworks display. Use the stopwatch to time how quickly the grill is ready, or create a countdown timer for the pie-eating contest at your cookout. If you are going to a professional display, create a custom countdown to the exact start time so nobody misses the first burst.

Frequently asked questions
What timezone does the countdown use?
The countdown ticks to midnight at the start of the event date in the viewer's local browser timezone. This means someone in Tokyo and someone in New York both see a countdown tailored to their own clock - Each celebrates when it's actually midnight where they are.
Can I share this page with anyone?
Yes. This URL is permanent and public - Just copy the link from your browser address bar (or use the copy button above) and send it to anyone. They don't need an account or app to view it.
How do I create a countdown for my own event?
Use the countdown creator to name your event, set a date, and pick an emoji. You'll get a permanent shareable link in under 30 seconds. No sign-up required.
I just need a quick timer - Not a calendar date
Use the Countdown Timer for a private countdown by hours and minutes, or the Timer Link Generator to create a shareable link for a specific duration like "25 minutes".
