BOSTON – What will be making headlines in Massachusetts for 2025? These are the events, elections, trials and sports storylines we’ll be following in the Boston area for the new year.
250th anniversary of the American Revolution
On April 19, 1775, the battles of Lexington and Concord kicked off the American Revolutionary War. In 2025, Massachusetts will mark 250 years since the fight for independence began in our own backyard.
Gov. Maura Healey’s administration announced in September that $1.5 million in grants are being provided through the state’s travel and tourism agency to promote Massachusetts’ Revolutionary War history.
“Statewide partnerships and events will commemorate our revolutionary spirit, highlighting the far-reaching impacts of Massachusetts in revolutionary history and the many other firsts that originated here, creating a powerful celebration of our civic pride,” Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll said in a statement.
