Patriots' Day is a civic holiday observed in certain U.S. states, primarily Massachusetts and Maine, to commemorate the Battles of Lexington and Concord, which marked the beginning of the American Revolutionary War in 1775. The day typically involves reenactments, parades, and ceremonies to honor the brave patriots who fought for American independence. In Massachusetts, the Boston Marathon is also held annually on Patriots' Day. Patriots' Day is a time for reflection on the sacrifices made by early American colonists and an opportunity to celebrate the spirit of freedom and independence that played a pivotal role in shaping the nation's history.
