Battle of Lexington dress rehearsal
Saturday at 2 p.m., Lexington Center, Massachusetts Avenue and Bedford Street (Routes 4 and 225) in Lexington; all ages, FREE
The annual Patriots [team stats] Day Battle of Lexington re-enactment is no doubt awesome. But there are factors working against it: the crowds, the 5:30 a.m. start time and, well, the fact that it falls on Patriots Day, one of the busiest “days off” on the Bay State calendar. Between the Red Sox [team stats] 11 a.m. game, the Boston Marathon and all the drinking, it’ll be hard to get out to Lexington at the crack of dawn on April 19. But this weekend’s dress rehearsal provides the perfect opportunity to witness the historic American Revolution throwdown. . Not only is the 2 p.m. start time manageable, it promises to be lesser attended, which means you’ll actually get close to the action.
