Faneuil Hall Marketplace Holiday Tree & Blink! Light Show

About this adventure

Historic Faneuil Hall Marketplace and Quincy Market celebrate the holidays beneath Boston's grandest urban Christmas tree—a towering 50-foot evergreen decorated with thousands of glittering ornaments and synchronized light strands. Throughout the holiday season, the cobblestone promenade comes alive with the magical 'Blink!' sound and light extravaganza, where hundreds of thousands of energy-efficient LED lights illuminate the historic Greek Revival façades in choreographed sequence to classic holiday orchestral tunes. Children will love wandering among the world-famous street performers, magicians, and brass quartets that gather in the North and South Market promenades. Quincy Market's Colonnade features festive indoor food halls where families can grab clam chowder in sourdough bread bowls, freshly made cider donuts, and hot apple cider to warm up. Santa Claus makes scheduled weekend visits inside Quincy Market for family greetings and wish-list consultations.
