Get in the holiday spirit

There’s nothing like this great event throughout all of the greater Boston area. Frosty and Rudolf will be there to greet everyone and pose for selfies. Santa will take a break from his work at the North Pole to hear holiday wishes and later on give rides in his sleigh. And the event will be capped off with a tree lighting at the fire station. Afterwards, why not keep the fun going with dinner at a nearby restaurant?

Free parking has begun and runs through Jan. 2, 2023. Just look for the covered meters.
