Patriot's Day commemorates the battles of Lexington and Concord, which were fought near Boston in 1775. Patriot's Day is annually held on the third Monday of April to honor those soldiers and civilians...Patriots who helped form our great country. We owe them a great deal.
For people in some states, the third Monday of April is a day off work and school. In the area around Lexington and Concord, re-enactments of the battles in 1775 and the events leading up to them are held. A particular highlight is the opportunity to ring the bell that warned the local troops that British soldiers were approaching.
