Winter in Boston

As the ‘Revolutionary’ city, enters its 250th celebrations it will bring a 21st Century techy twist to proceedings with free and spectacular holiday drone shows lighting up the winter skies every weekend through December.  

From Tree lighting ceremonies in the heart of the city to festive events which illuminate entire neighbourhoods, Boston always guarantees a magical winter wonderland. Holiday shopping at the winter markets in Boston will have visitors browsing unique crafts, festive treats, and one-of-a-kind gifts from local artisans. With no sales tax on most clothing purchases it’s the perfect place to pick up a purchase. After a long day’s bargain browsing, it’s time to spoil yourself with Cookies and Carols, sweet treats as you sail on the Charles River, listening to a collection of carols that will have the whole family feeling ready for the holiday season. 

During the festive season, Seaport turns into Snowport, a winter wonderland filled with pop-up experiences; holiday markets, with dazzling seasonal decorations. Beyond shopping, Snowport offers plenty of holiday fun, from a curling lane to the romantic Mistletoe Arch. For something truly magical the rooftop igloos offer stunning views and a cozy escape from Boston’s white winters.

For a classic winter experience, Boston’s downtown ice rinks including  the iconic Frog Pond, are open to all ages and abilities.
