About Arlington Patriots Day Parade
Patriots’ Day is a special Massachusetts State holiday commemorating the opening battle of the American Revolutionary War, April 19, 1775. The village of Menotomy (now Arlington) was located on Concord Road (now Massachusetts Avenue) between Boston and Lexington. Following the skirmishes that took place in Lexington and Concord, eleven men were killed and two Redcoats were killed in battle in Menotomy, making it the bloodiest fighting on the first day of the American Revolution, April 19,1775.

Arlington’s annual parade pays tribute to the brave citizens of Massachusetts that helped forge our nation’s mantle of liberty. The parade is a tribute to our Armed Forces and represents the history and origins of our U.S. military.
