Boston Tea Party Reenactment & March to Harbor on December 16th

The 244th Boston Tea Party Anniversary & Annual Reenactment, one of the largest the largest theatrical moving performances in the United States, will be taking place on Sat., Dec. 16, 2017, 6:30pm – the actual anniversary of original the Boston Tea Party.  London’s East India Company (the SAME company from where the tea came during The Boston Tea Party) is shipping 220+ lbs of lose [expired] to be thrown into Boston’s historic waters.

• This annual Boston Tea Party reenactment is an opportunity for the public to experience one of America’s most iconic public protests live which was the catalyst that ultimately shaped the United States with 100+ reenactors who tell the story of the infamous Boston Tea Party and theatrically recreate the evening of December 16, 1773, the single most important event which sparked the American Revolution.
• 6:30pm It begins with a fiery tea tax debate at Old South Meeting House, the actual historic hall where the colonists gathered 244 years ago.
• 7:30pm The public joins a procession on closed streets through Boston to the waterfront (Boston Tea Party Ships Museum) led by groups of fife & drummers and witnesses the Sons of Liberty destroy actual loose [expired] tea from London’s East India Company, the same company still in existence today where the tea came that was destroyed in The Boston Tea Party.
