5. Patriot’s Day! Celebrated on the 3rd Mon. of April in Maine and Mass, although there is a slight difference in punctuation. Maine celebrates Patriot’s Day, while Massachusetts marks Patriots’ Day. This holiday commemorates the early battles of the Revolutionary War. State, county, and municipal offices are closed. Patriot’s Day is not a federal holiday, so federal offices and the Post Office remain open. (WMTW)
