Paul Revere Mall (Prado) will once again be the site of Mayor Martin Walsh’s enchanted trolley tour and tree lighting tradition that officially opens the holiday season for the City of Boston by lighting trees throughout the city.
This is the 22 year of this special holiday festivity of lighting holiday trees while bringing holiday spirit to children and adults.
Besides the tree lighting, there will be a visit by Santa Claus, holiday performances and more, sponsored by Bank of America.
“Our holiday trolley tour and tree lighting provides some of the best family memories of the year, building community spirit throughout Boston and bringing a little extra joy to residents during the holiday season,†said Mayor Walsh. “The holiday season is a time for friends, family and neighbors to come together and celebrate, and I welcome all to attend this weekend of inclusive, family-friendly fun.â€

The Mayor’s Office of Tourism, Sports and Entertainment is committed to producing fun, free public events for Bostonians and visitors to the City and this year will collaborate with Bank of America, which is sponsoring the 2017 Mayor’s Enchanted Trolley Tour and Tree Lightings.
