Evacuation Day is a holiday observed on March 17 in Suffolk County, Massachusetts (which includes the cities of Boston, Chelsea, and Revere, and the town of Winthrop) and also by the public schools in Somerville, Massachusetts. The holiday commemorates the evacuation of British forces from the city of Boston following the siege of Boston, early in the American Revolutionary War. Schools and government offices (including some Massachusetts state government offices located in Suffolk County) are closed. If March 17 falls on a weekend, schools and government offices are closed on the following Monday in observance. It is the same day as Saint Patrick's Day, a coincidence that played a role in the establishment of the holiday.

  • El día de la evacuación es una fiesta celebrada el 17 de marzo en el Condado de Suffolk, Massachusetts, que incluye las ciudades de Boston, Chelsea, Revere y Winthrop. Se conmemora la evacuación de las fuerzas británicas de la ciudad de Boston el 17 de marzo de 1776, acontecimiento perteneciente al asedio de Boston, el cual, a su vez se engloba en la Guerra de Independencia de los Estados Unidos. Esta fiesta coincide con el Día de San Patricio. (es)
  • День эвакуации — праздник, отмечаемый 17 марта в округе Суффолк (включающем в себя города Бостон, Челси, Ревер и Винтроп) а так же в Сомервиле штата Массачусетс. Празднование происходит в память эвакуации английских войск из города Бостон, после его осады в начале войны за независимость. Школы и государственные предприятия, включая некоторые расположенные в округе Суффолк, закрыты в этот день. Если 17 марта выпадает на воскресенье, то нерабочий день переносится на следующий за ним понедельник. Праздник совпадает с днем Святого Патрика, что повлияло на характер его празднования. (ru)
