TEWKSBURY, MA — Patriots' Day is Monday, April 15 here in Massachusetts. Patriots' Day marks the Battles of Lexington and Concord and the start of the Revolutionary War. It's also Marathon Monday.

Because the holiday falls on April 15, the filing deadline for federal taxes, Massachusetts taxpayers have until the 17th to file their taxes.

Here's a handy list of what's open (and closed) during the holiday:

• Trash Collection: Delayed one day (Thursday instead of Wednesday. It is a blue recycling week and branch pickup begins in Tewksbury with this week's trash collection).

• Supermarkets, liquor stores and convenience stores: Open
• Bars and restaurants: Open
• Stock market: Open
