Anchored by New England’s first custom-designed Skating Path and a Holiday Shopping Market, "Boston Winter" is part of Mayor Walsh’s commitment to creating a City Hall that is both vibrant and welcoming to all. It's open seven days a week.

The nearly 11,000 square foot outdoor ice Skating Path will remain open through February, offering learn-to-skate programs and many special events. The Holiday Shopping Market will run through New Year’s Eve (December 31, 2016) and include unique attractions and over 40 chalets with boutique style shops offering a wide array of gifts and food. Park yourself right here – we have a little something to keep everyone busy this winter.
