Evacuation Day is a special day celebrated on March 17 in Boston, Massachusetts. It marks the day during the American Revolutionary War in 1776 when the British soldiers left Boston. This happened because American soldiers, led by General George Washington, set up cannons on a hill, which scared the British away. People in Boston remember this day as a victory and a step towards America becoming its own country. It's also the same day as St. Patrick's Day, so there's lots of fun, parades, and people wearing green to celebrate both events together.
How to celebrate Evacuation Day?
Start the day with a fun breakfast with family, maybe green pancakes to match the St. Patrick's Day theme. Wear something green to celebrate, like a shirt or a hat. Head to a nearby park or open space and play games like tag or catch. Have a picnic with sandwiches and snacks, enjoying the fresh air and spending time with family or friends. In the afternoon, make a time capsule with notes about the day and drawings to open next year. At dinner, talk about the fun moments you had and share stories before ending the day with a cozy movie night.
