The City’s 237th annual Patriot’s Day celebration will be held at Foss Park on Monday, April 16 from 10:00 – 11:30 a.m.

Co-sponsored by the Preservation Commission, Historic Somerville, the Somerville Museum, and East Somerville Main Streets, the day’s events will include Colonial games and songs, light refreshments, youth readings, and a visit from Paul Revere on horseback on his historic ride from Boston to Lexington through Somerville.

The event will begin with live music by the Somerville High School band, games and refreshments, followed by a brief speaking agenda with youth poetry readings and the arrival of Paul Revere. Children will receive a “Colonial Times Passport” and are invited to participate in various Colonial-era games. Children who complete each of the six stations will receive a small prize. Attendees are also encouraged to dress in traditional Colonial attire.
