Holiday Tree Lighting Activities

November 29 | 4-8pm | In-Person | 12 Fulton Street | Free

Kick off the holiday season in the Seaport Museum galleries with special open hours from 4pm to 8pm during the neighborhood tree lighting! Watch the annual lighting of the tree on the cobblestones at 6pm, and drop in for some seasonal fun in the galleries where families and guests of all ages will be invited to create paper boat baubles—great decorations for the holiday—using colorful holiday paper.
