Boston, and Suffolk county celebrate a public holiday - "Evacuation Day"
- every March 17.
It's quite the Hibernian affair, a parade, a political elite and not-so-elite breakfast, etc.
Evacuation Day as a public holiday is a bone of contention between public employees and the taxpayers of MA.
Never knew that! Ah, the Paddys! My folks all came from the Emerald Isle- and I’m damned glad they caught the boat! Merry Christmas.
