Holiday Trellis Lighting: Christopher Columbus Park

The annual lighting of the trellis in Christopher Columbus Park is performed by the Mayor, who switches on the 50,000 lights along the 260-feet (80-m) trellis at the beautiful waterfront. The event features festive music, community carol sing-alongs, and a chance to talk to Santa Claus, everyone's favorite grandpa. Local vendors annually set up their booths at the waterfront, offering delicious hot chocolate, baked goods, and Boston's classic clam chowder. Holiday trellis lighting is set to begin at 5 pm, so consider arriving earlier to witness this beautiful spectacle in action.
