Every country has its story of its origins and many milestone days are remembered each and every year by the people that live in that country. Some of these celebrations are national while others remain regional as the pride felt for that region’s contribution to the creation of the country is strong. In New England Patriot’s Day is just such a day and they celebrate it proudly.

One of the funnest holidays for Massachusetts and Main would have to be Patriots' Day. This is a time to commemorate the first battle of the American Revolutionary War. It is another holiday that use to be celebrated on April 19 (which is the same date as when the first battle started) but since then has been changed to the third Monday in April. When you go to see Patriots' Day you have to stay and watch the reenactment of the first battle, that is half the fun of going.

Patriots Day is a holiday that commemorates the battle of Lexington and Concord, which was one of the most important battles in the American Revolutionary War.
