2026 Patriot’s Day Re-enactment and Parade

Lexington’s Patriots’ Day celebration commemorates the start of the American Revolution with dawn reenactments of the Battle of Lexington on the Battle Green, featuring the Lexington Minute Men facing off against British reenactors, plus parades, pancake breakfasts, walking tours, a road race, and special events leading up to the third Monday in April. It’s a major event, drawing large crowds to witness history come alive at the exact time and place the first shots were fired in 1775.
