Visit Winteractive’s Celestial Garden on The Greenway

The winter months may bring chilly weather to Boston, but with Winteractive on The Greenway we’re bringing magic to the coldest months this year!

The Greenway will be hosting a special attraction on Dewey Square: the Celestial Garden (Jardin Céleste) installation by Lucion. This one-of-a-kind display forms part of Winteractive, “a free, walkable art experience featuring more than 15 artworks and interpretive play elements,” presented by the Downtown Boston Alliance.

Celestial Garden features four white orbs that are illuminated each night to showcase a mesmerizing light show set to music. The largest orb features a shadow theater which viewers can enjoy from afar (as it projects onto the orb itself). Viewers can also engage with the shadow theater through portals located around the structure. These small windows reveal a glimpse into the magical landscape within.
