The Battle of Lexington is commemorated every April on the
third Monday of the month. The highlight is a historical reenactment of the
battle that pays tribute to those patriots who first fell on the Lexington
Green on the morning of April 19, 1775.
Volunteer opportunity - Sign up to be Parade Ambassador
in the Patriots' Day parade! Parade Ambassadors carry the banners that

The schedule of events for Patriots' Day
weekend includes a full range of activities including several battle
reenactments, parades, the Liberty Ride, historic
house tours, pancake breakfasts, and a road race. Other events occur in April

Minute Men Company and His
Majesty's Tenth Regiment of Foot, is staged annually at 5:30 A.M. on
Monday morning. This event evokes the revolutionary spirit that signaled the
start of the American Revolution.
