Patriots' Day! Talking to my mother, who grew up in Medford, she tells me that they used to have a big parade with bands and speeches in Medford Square when she was a girl (that would be somewhere in the 30's to early 40's), and some fellow would ride in on a horse, "three sheets to the wind," she said, and get off the horse and bang on the door of a particular house on Main Street. Crowds would come out to watch the whole thing and it was a very big deal, then.
