★ enjoying some of the Patriot’s Day events.
Patriot’s Day commemorates the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first
battles of the American Revolutionary War. There are reenactments in Lexington (6am) and
Concord (9am) Monday morning. There is also a reenactment of Paul Revere/William Dawes
Ride Monday morning. For more information on events relating to the American Revolutionary
War, visit http://www.nps.gov/mima/patriots-day.htm
★ watching the Boston Marathon, the world’s oldest annual marathon.
This year is the 117th Boston Marathon. The first wave of the race leaves Hopkinton at 9am
(Mobility Impaired Division). The finish line is on Boylston Street, downtown Boston, in front of
the Boston Public Library. For more information on the 117th Boston Marathon, visit http://

★ attending a Boston Red Sox game at world famous Fenway Park.
Since 1959, the Boston Red Sox have played a day game at Fenway Park on Patriot’s Day. This
year the Red Sox will play the Tampa Bay Rays at 11am. Beyond the experience of seeing a
game in Fenway Park, this game is particularly special because the game ends at the same time
that the marathoners are running past Fenway Park. It can be a difficult ticket to find, but an
unforgettable experience. For more information, visit http://boston.redsox.mlb.com
★ exploring one of America’s great cities.
Boston is a vibrant, thriving city, renowned for its cultural facilities, world-class educational
institutions, champion sports franchises, museums, shopping and dining as well as its place at
the very forefront of American history. Ride the T, shop on Newbury Street, and explore one of
America’s great cities. For more information, visit http://www.cityofboston.gov/visitors/default.asp
