Every year, on the third Monday of April, the town observes Patriot's Day. Events begin with Paul Revere's Ride, with a special re-enactment of the scene at the Hancock-Clarke House. At 6am, there is a re-enactment of the skirmish on the Battle Green, with the unknown shot being fired from the nearby Belfry. After the rout, the British march on towards Concord, where, in 1775, they captured and destroyed arms stores.
