In Suffolk County, Massachusetts, March 17 is Evacuation Day, an official holiday commemorating of the evacuation of the city by British forces on March 17, 1776 (see American Revolutionary War). By happy coincidence, March 17 also happens to be St. Patrick's Day. Evacuation Day is also observed in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The holiday was first proclaimed in 1941.
