Patriots Day Celebrations Mark Revolutionary History

Patriots Day Commemorated with Ceremonies and Reenactments Across Massachusetts

Boston, MA – April 15, 2024 – Communities across Massachusetts honored Patriots Day on Monday with solemn ceremonies, historical reenactments, and the famed Boston Marathon, marking the anniversary of the first battles of the American Revolution in 1775.

The day began at dawn in Lexington and Concord, where hundreds gathered to witness reenactments of the 'Shot Heard 'Round the World'—the skirmish between colonial militia and British troops that ignited the Revolutionary War. Actors in period costumes brought history to life, recreating the standoff at Lexington Green and the subsequent battle at Concord’s Old North Bridge.

'This day reminds us of the courage and sacrifice of those who fought for our freedoms,' said Lexington Historical Society President Sarah Mitchell. 'It’s important to teach new generations about the events that shaped our nation.'

Meanwhile, in Boston, thousands of runners participated in the 128th Boston Marathon, one of the world’s most prestigious races. The marathon, held annually on Patriots Day since 1897, drew elite athletes and amateur runners alike, with Kenya’s Evans Chebet and Hellen Obiri taking top honors in the men’s and women’s divisions.

Security was tight along the route, a reminder of the 2013 marathon bombing that tragically marred the holiday a decade ago. Survivors and first responders were honored in a moment of silence before the race.

Elsewhere, the Red Sox continued their traditional Patriots Day morning game at Fenway Park, defeating the Los Angeles Angels 6-3 in front of a spirited crowd.

As the sun set, officials and veterans laid wreaths at Revolutionary War memorials, ensuring that the legacy of April 19, 1775, endures.

'Patriots Day isn’t just about the past,' said Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey. 'It’s about remembering the spirit of resistance and unity that still defines us today.'
