Happy April, Bostonians! As our weather slowly warms up and
we head closer to summer, more Boston area events and activities pop up on the
calendar. One major highlight in April is Patriot’s Day.
This is a very special day here in Boston, as only
Massachusetts and Maine celebrate Patriot’s Day, which always takes place the
third Monday in April. It commemorates the anniversary of the Battles of
Lexington and Concord, which began the American Revolutionary War.
Most of April, you can catch over 40 reenactments
from the war! These includes the notorious Paul Revere midnight ride across
Boston, with battles on Lexington Green and Old North Bridge in Concord. Events
begin this Saturday, April 6, and run until April 20. For a full list, click here.
You can also head to historic places around Massachusetts to
view what life was like in the 18th century, such as Paul Revere’s house in
Boston’s North End or Hartwell Tavern in Lincoln. From the clothing they wore
to the weapons they used in battle, these visits will feel like traveling
through time!
April 15 also marks the beginning of school vacation week in
Massachusetts, as well as a three-day weekend for many workers. It’s a good
thing too, because Patriot’s Day is also the day when the Boston Marathon is
held each year. In fact, many Bostonians just
refer to it as “Marathon Monday!”
Thousands of people from across the world come to Boston, MA
to run in the infamous Boston Marathon each year, and thousands watch and cheer
on the runners from the sidelines. If you aren’t heading downtown Boston for
the marathon, I’d recommend steering clear.
Steer clear unless you’re headed to Fenway Park for a Boston
Red Sox game, that is, because a home game is always scheduled for Patriot’s
Day.
So, whether you plan to attend a reenactment, visit a
historic site or museum, participate in or cheer at the Boston Marathon, attend
the Boston Red Sox game, or just relax on your day off, I hope you enjoy April
15! As your Boston real estate agent, I wanted to fill you in on all the
excitement happening in Boston, MA on this very special day.
