Holidays in Boston

Holidays

Local holidays include St. Patrick's Day on March 17 and Bunker Hill Day on June 17, both celebrated with neighborhood parades. The Boston Marathon is run annually on Patriots' Day, the third Monday in April. The city is crammed with participants and spectators, and streets are closed along the 26-mi race route. And Independence Day is a big deal in Boston, with huge fireworks displays and a concert by the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
