Literally! “Light Up Seaport” returned with a grand tree lighting, live entertainment, deals at all of your favorite Seaport stores, and the debut of Boston’s pinkest and fluffiest Yeti, Betty.
On Friday, December 2, the Seaport welcomed yet another reason to be visited. The magical modern neighborhood, home to Snowport, hosted its 6th annual “Light Up Seaport.” The showcase was not just exclusive to the winter village, but nearly all retailers and restaurants in the neighborhood hosted some kind of special, giveaway, or exclusive offer!
In addition, the star of the show is the the sparkling 49-foot holiday tree adorned with 10,000 twinkling lights! The tree lighting took place at the Seaport Common at 7:30 PM. But that’s only a small part of the fun!
The Seaport hosted a neighborhood-wide “Holiday Stroll.” From 5 PM through 9 PM, where you could enjoy some of the exclusive events in every corner of the Seaport, and Snowport won’t be going anywhere, so make sure to stop by the market if you haven’t already! Below is a full rundown of the schedule of events:
