  • December 21, 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm – March 20 – Bright Lights for Winter Nights

    The Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy is pleased to announce plans to bring more light and cheer to the Greenway beginning December 21, the winter solstice, and continuing through the spring equinox.

    Bright Lights for Winter Nights will feature creative lighting elements that highlight the Greenway’s four distinctive park designs while unifying over a mile of the Greenway’s natural beauty with a varied display of festive lighting.

    The first display will begin Monday the 21st at 4 pm in the Wharf District Parks when the iconic Light Blades will display a newly choreographed rhythm of color and pattern.  The display will change each week for the next three months, so keep coming back!

  • Saturday, December 5, 4 – 5:30 pm – Winter Lights Along the Greenway

    Enjoy the East Boston Greenway lit up with festive luminarias and a holiday sing along with local performers and carolers.  Hot chocolate and cookies will keep you warm.  Meet at the blue caboose near South Bremen and Marginal Streets.  Snow date Sunday, December 6.

    The Friends of East Boston Greenway and Boston Natural Areas Network are sponsoring this event, and they need help from community groups, businesses and individuals.  Here is how you can help:  Make batches of 50 luminarias (materials will be provided and delivered to your worksite or other location – bags, sand and candles). Or, if you’d rather, volunteers from your group can attend a group lunimaria making session, date and time to be announced.  Your sponsorship will be recognized by a sign on the Greenway.  You can volunteer to be a monitor the night of the event, watching over a section and lighting any candles that go out.  You can donate food or refreshments, or hang event flyers or posters.  With the support of volunteers, the Friends hope to make at least 350 – 400 luminarias.  If you can help, call Candice Cook at 617-542-7696, or email candice@bostonnatural.org.
