“Holidays at the Hall” at Faneuil Hall Marketplace

Starting Thanksgiving holiday weekend, Holidays at the Hall will be in full swing at Faneuil Hall Marketplace! There will be concerts, special events, holiday pop-up with Santa, “Deck the Hall Stroll” and the return of the spectacular light and sound show Blink!

One of the big highlights is the annual holiday tree lighting, taking place on Tuesday, December 3. The Blink! light show will kick off at 7:30 p.m. on 12/3 and then it will play every half hour beginning December 4 between 4:30 p.m. and 10 p.m.

“Deck the Hall Stroll” will take place on December 14 when shoppers can grab a Holiday Stroll card to use throughout the Marketplace as they take advantage of special sales and promotions from participating merchants.

Also on December 14th, kids and families are invited to join the annual Candyland Play-a-Thon where the iconic board game will be played in the Upper Rotunda from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. Every child who enters the Candyland Play-a-Thon receives a toy from Hasbro Toys. The event benefits the nonprofit children’s organization Pitching in for Kids.
