Double posting today! After writing about Saturday’s Tree Lighting on the USS Constitution, I realized a post about weekend holiday events would be useful and fun too!
Old South Meeting House – Holiday Open House – 12/7
We took a tour of the Freedom Trail for the first time this fall and had a lot of fun. But we decided to skip the sites with admissions fees, both to keep costs down and to try to finish the trail in a reasonable amount of time 😉
Well, this weekend we might head over to Old South Meeting House for their FREE Holiday Open House!! It looks like a really fun and interesting program, PLUS we can get another stamp for our National Parks Passport.
Details: Saturday, December 7, 2019, 10am-4pm, Free Admission, 310 Washington St, Boston, MA.
Brandeis Ballet Club’s Full Length Nutcracker – T accessible, 12/7 & 12/8
Seeing the Nutcracker is a wonderful holiday tradition for some. But tickets to most productions can be expensive. Looking for a cheaper alternative to the Boston Ballet’s production? The Brandeis Ballet Club is putting on their 4th annual, full-length Nutcracker! They’ve put a modern twist on the classic ballet.
There is free admission for students and non-students alike!
Details: Saturday, December 7, 2019 at 12:30 pm and Sunday, December 8, 2019 at 5 pm. Free and open to the public. Shapiro Campus Center (SCC) Theatre, Brandeis University, 415 South St, Waltham, MA.
T-Accessible! 0.3 mile walk from the Brandeis/Roberts stop on the Fitchburg commuter rail line. 0.7 mile walk from Bus #70 stop at Tavern Rd and Weston St.
Live Nativity on Boston Common – 12/7
If you hit up the Old South Meeting House on Saturday, you could continue your holiday festivities in the evening with a Live Nativity on Boston Common, featuring live animals and readings in English and Spanish! This event is put on by Renewal Church Boston in Back Bay. It’s free, but they are collecting gently used winter accessories such as scarves, hats and gloves to distribute to the needy.
Details: Saturday, December 7, 2019, 5pm to 8pm, Boston Common Parade Ground near Frog Pond. Spanish reading at 7 pm.
Candlelight Labyrinth Walk – 12/8
Looking for something more contemplative? I’m intrigued by this event held by the Armenian Heritage Park on the Greenway in Boston. The simple description reads:
Candlelit Labyrinth Walk: In Peace & Harmony. Meet & Greet. Celebrate Walk the Candlelit Labyrinth. Tie a Ribbon with Your Wish on the Wishing Tree. Enjoy Hot Chocolate & Luscious Cookies. RSVP appreciated
Details: Sunday, December 8, 2019, 4:30pm to 5:30pm, Free, Armenian Heritage Park, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, Boston, MA
Holiday Concert by the Harvard Wind Ensemble – 12/8
My son’s saxophone teacher is performing with the Harvard Wind Ensemble this weekend in a free Holiday Concert. We can’t wait to see them perform!
Details: Sunday, December 8, 2019, 8pm, Lowell Hall, 17 Kirkland St, Cambridge, MA.
