    Lexington’s Patriots’ Day celebration commemorates the opening moments of the American Revolution with moving reenactments, solemn ceremonies, and vibrant community events. At dawn, the Battle Green comes alive as militia and British regulars recreate April 19, 1775. Parades, historic homes, music, and family activities follow, honoring courage, sacrifice, and civic pride while welcoming visitors to experience the town’s enduring revolutionary spirit through storytelling, education, reflection, and shared remembrance across generations and communities each historic spring.

    In celebration of America 250, Lexington will present its Patriots' Day Parade on Saturday, April 18, at 1:30 PM (please note the new start time). The step-off point is at the intersection of Maple Avenue and Massachusetts Avenue, and will follow through to Lexington Center, ending at Worthen Road.

    A wide variety of groups, reenactors, marching bands, and much more will be on hand to entertain us. Information relative to and updates for Patriots’ Day Weekend will be posted promptly at www.patriotsday.com.
