Each year in mid-April, thousands of people flock to historic Lexington and Concord and Minute Man National Historical Park to celebrate Patriot's Day. Patriot's Day is a special Massachusetts State holiday commemorating the opening battle of the American Revolutionary War, April 19, 1775. The entire weekend is celebrated with parades, reenactments and commemorative ceremonies.
2025 marks 250 years since the Battle of Lexington and the start of the American Revolution.
The traditional Patriots' Day events will still take place, including the sunrise reenactment on the historic Lexington Battle Green, the annual 5-mile run, and the afternoon parade; however, all of these events will occur on Saturday, April 19th, 2025.
Patriots' Day 2025 extends beyond a single day. The celebration started in April when the Lex250 Commission kicked off a 365-day countdown. Numerous events and activities are planned leading up to Patriots' Day. You can find a complete schedule and details on the official Lex250 website.

About Patriot's Day
Every April on the third Monday of the month, the Battle of Lexington is commemorated and a moving tribute is paid to those patriots who first fell on Lexington Green on the morning of April 19, 1775. A full range of activities is planned that include historical reenactments, parades, pancake breakfasts, and a road race.
Beginning just before midnight Sunday night, the drama begins with the arrival of Paul Revere on horseback to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock that the British Regulars have left Boston and are on their way towards Lexington and Concord.
The highlight is the reenactment of the Battle of Lexington, performed by members of the Lexington MinuteMen Company and His Majesty's Tenth Regiment of Foot. Staged annually at 5:45 A.M. every April on the third Monday of the month, the event evokes the revolutionary spirit that signaled the start of the American Revolution.
Visitors are encouraged to arrive early at all events for best viewing. Be part of the story through the reenactment of Paul Revere's ride, followed by day-long events.
