All in one evening, on Tuesday, December 31, professional skaters, Mr. and Mrs. Clause, and seasoned Bostonians hit the ice at the Frog Pond Skating Spectacular at the heart of the Boston Common. The recently opened ice-skating rink will hold its annual “Skating Spectacular” on First Night to celebrate New Year’s Eve in Boston!
What to expect at the Frog Pond Skating Spectacular
You’ll find skaters at all different skill levels who train at The Skating Club of Boston, which provides ice skating lessons at Frog Pond itself. Some of them will dawn their best holiday costumes-so you might even watch Santa skate by himself.
Watch competitive figure skaters, soloists, groups, wee skaters, and Team Excel Synchronized Skating and Theatre On Ice of Boston teams swirl and twirl! You’ll be so inspired you’ll want to grab your own skates and hit the ice at one of these rinks the next day!
Succeeding the “Skating Spectacular” you can then catch the equally spectacular and gobsmacking fireworks!

The Frog Pond holds three major free-to-the public shows each year, both in December. The first Frog Pond festivities precedes the Boston Common Tree Lighting. The second “Skating Spectacular” occurs 6 PM on New Year’s Eve as part of Boston’s historic First Night ceremonies.
