About this countdown
This countdown targets Evacuation Day on Wednesday, March 17, 2027, set by the rule: March 17. It runs on your device's clock and counts to midnight at the start of the day.
Evacuation Day is a state holiday, so the date matters for more than the celebration — government offices close and many employers follow suit. Evacuation Day, March 17, marks the British withdrewal from Boston in 1776, George Washington's first victory of the Revolution. It is observed only in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, and since 2010 offices there must stay open, making it ceremonial.
