By Phil Orlandella

Last year, at its Boston debut, “Boston Winter” on City Hall Plaza, more than 300,000 residents and visitors enjoyed this new family-friendly holiday tradition that begins on Friday, November 24, open to the public seven days a week.

Presented by Berkshire Bank, Boston Winter will feature a mix of winter activities including a unique outdoor skating path and an expanded holiday shopping market with an array of hospitality experiences and attractions provided by Millennial Entertainment Group.

The holiday event is held in partnership with Mayor Martin Walsh and the Boston Garden Development Corporation. The event will feature unique attractions and over 85 chalets offering a wide variety of local and international gifts, goods and food.

Attractions will include, an enchanted Christmas Tree maze, a Santa House, a Bavarian Village and a Vinopolis, and interactive wine and beer experience.

The outdoor skating path will remain open until February, offering learn-to-skate programs and many special events.

The event builds on the Mayor’s commitment to revitalize both City Hall and the Plaza.

            “I look forward to opening Boston Winter for the second year in a row, welcoming friends, families and residents, to City Hall Plaza to enjoy this new holiday tradition,” said Mayor Walsh.
