In the Blink! of an Eye, it’s Time for the Holidays

More lights. More music. More color. And more sound. This year’s magical Blink! Extravaganza will use over 350,000 LED lights to illuminate Boston’s skyline and dazzle Faneuil Hall shoppers. The sparkling light show will dance seamlessly to holiday pop music recorded by Boston Symphony Orchestra during the seven-minute spectacular. The season’s festivities will kick off with live performances, carolers, and a special 84-foot tree lighting ceremony on Wednesday, November 29. The shows will continue daily at 4:30 p.m. and run every hour on the half hour through New Year’s Day – shining bright and spreading holiday cheer all throughout our little corner of the city.
