Boston’s Ultimate Holiday Guide
Between the crowds and the cold, Christmas in Boston can be a sensory overload. Lucky for you, we’ve got a comprehensive guide to make your holidays in Beantown a holly, jolly success. When you’re in Boston this holiday season, follow the links in this guide to find the best parking spots at the best prices.
This year, there are no shortage of performances to get you deep into the holiday spirit. Offering something for everyone, The Boch Center Schubert Theatre will be playing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer the Musical and Anthony Williams’ Urban Nutcracker. Prefer a more traditional performance? Don’t miss the Boston Ballet’s performance of The Nutcracker at Boston Opera House or check out a magical performance of Holiday Pops by the Boston Pops at Symphony Hall.
Once you’ve gotten the theatrics out of your system, cross some lights off your list and find parking close to the decorated trees and light shows around the city. Faneuil Hall Marketplace boasts the biggest decorated tree in the Northeast along with Blink!, a light and sound show known worldwide.
To get in the gift-giving mood, check out the Boston Christmas Tree at Boston Commons — a 45-foot-tall gift from Nova Scotia. For those who can’t afford to gift family members with a forest-sized spruce, the city has plenty of other options. Drop by Holiday Lane in Macy’s Downtown Boston – located a block away from Boston Common. In addition to holiday shopping, the store offers its very own tree lighting ceremony and holiday windows to bring in the season. Feeling upscale? The swanky Hawthorne lounge in Hotel Commonwealth offers light bites while shoppers browse various gifts. No matter what sights and sounds you’re ready to experience, know that convenient parking is just a click away by simply booking your spot through Parking.com.
Take in a breath of fresh Boston air with the city’s outdoor ice skating rinks at Boston Common Frog Pond and Rotunda Rink at Boston Harbor Hotel.
Lastly, round out the year and bring in 2020 at First Night Boston. The annual New Year’s Eve celebration features entertainment and special attractions, including cultural and musical performances, ice sculptures, light displays, and fireworks. It’s going to be crowded, so make sure to reserve your parking spot.
