A special children’s celebration will be held at the Smith Family Waterfront, and the ship will be lit for the third annual holiday in Martin’s Park. Martin’s Park will be transformed into a magical holiday display when the ship, surrounding beach fencing, and pedestrian bridge are illuminated with over 1,500 feet of blue and white tube lights.

What to expect:

  • Santa will arrive by boat with the Boston Police Harbor Unit at the Harborwalk
  • Entertainment will be provided by a cappella group Ball In The House performing a selection of holiday classics
  •  Seaport’s own Betty the Yeti will make an appearance
