Patriots Day: A Special Holiday in Massachusetts and Maine
1. Patriots Day
Patriots Day is a very special day in Massachusetts and Maine. This holiday is
celebrated the third Monday in April. The people of Boston and other parts of
Massachusetts celebrate Patriots Day in very special ways. Boston celebrates
Patriots Day by having the Boston Marathon. The Boston Marathon is a huge race
that thousands of people go to see. Other towns and cities celebrate this holiday by
having parades, and ceremonies. Boston and the other towns and cities also have
reenactments. They have reenactments of the American Revolutionary war. They
reenact this war because this holiday is the anniversary of the war. That’s why we
celebrate it. Patriots Day is a very fun holiday.
