Patriots' Day is not a national holiday in the USA. It is a civic holiday observed by a limited number of states, primarily in the northeastern region of the country.
Specifically, Patriots' Day is a state holiday in Massachusetts and Maine, celebrated on the third Monday of April. It commemorates the Battles of Lexington and Concord, which occurred on April 19, 1775, marking the start of the American Revolutionary War. While highly significant to the history of these states and the nation, its observance does not extend to the federal level, nor is it recognized as a public holiday in the majority of other U.S. states.
Therefore, despite its historical importance, Patriots' Day remains a regional observance rather than a nationally recognized day off from work or school across the United States, differentiating it from federal holidays like Independence Day or Thanksgiving.
