Reword "St. Patricks Day" information and put it into a seperate paragragh.)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)March 17 in Suffolk County, Massachusetts is Evacuation Day, an official holiday commemorating the evacuation of the city of Boston by British forces on March 17, 1776 (see Siege of Boston or American Revolutionary War). Evacuation Day is also observed in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The holiday was first proclaimed in 1941.
March 17 also happens to be St. Patrick's Day which gives Boston's large Irish and Irish descendant population an additional reason to celebrate.
