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 (which include many Massachusetts state government offices located in the city of Boston, which is in Suffolk County) are closed.

It is the same day as Saint Patrick's Day, a coincidence that played a role in the establishment of the holiday.
