The concerts date back to Arthur Fiedler's first three-concert series in 1973 and have become an annual family ritual of seasonal favorites and sing-alongs. The 2:30 pm start is friendly for children who would not last through an evening concert. Ticket prices are not printed on the venue page; tickets went on sale in August, and Holiday Pops performances often sell out. ## Similar picks in Boston - [2026 Holiday Pops Kids' Matinee (Boston Pops)](https://grassyknees.com/boston/activities/2026-holiday-pops-kids-matinee-boston-pops--listing-b6bf2b4feff8de4cf59482f8) — Sun, Dec 6 (+6 more dates) · 11:00 AM · Symphony Hall · Paid · checked Oct 13.
