They’ve been doing it that way since 1969. The holiday is a really big deal in Boston, I don’t see how it could be that way mid-week.
Look at it this way, 47 state don’t celebrate the day at all.
“They’ve been doing it that way since 1969. The holiday is a really big deal in Boston, I don’t see how it could be that way mid-week.”
By contrast, Bunker Hill day, June 17, is always celebrated on the date, no matter what day of the week it is. We Bostonians are a strange lot.
Point is, if the subject of the holiday is actually important, the ACTUAL DATE stays unchanged.
Thank God July 4 is still July 4, not the most convenient day for travelers and revelers. It must still be somewhat important to the Feds to not downgrade it to the closest Monday.
