Boston Winter is new this year. It is Boston’s answer to the holiday market idea. There is a huge skating track, lots of gift chalets, food for sale, and separate tents for wine tasting, a beer garden and hot chocolate. It opened on the Dec 7th and we went down to take a look last evening. The gift chalets are due to close after New Years, but the rest will remain open until the end of February. I have never seen this section of Boston look better.

This is so beautiful, Chris. I think you’ve had a lot of fun 🙂
Have a great weekend, my friend!
xo ❤
Thank you, Monica. It is a lot of fun and so pretty.
I wish you a great weekend also. Cheers!
Many thanks, Chris :*
😎
Looks like a nice update of the old Jordan Marsh store’s Santa’s Village.
I thought the same. My grandmother used to bring me to Jordan Marsh to see the village. And there was no ‘r’ in Marsh when she said it.
They had those blueberry muffins there too!
Those were awesome. I have the recipe if you want it.
OK! Or you could post it with a story.
Great idea!!!!
This is both pretty and cute. New England knows how to do winter! Great photos.
Thanks Lois, I agree. I think everyone is copying the Bavarian section of Germany. London did it a few years ago and NYC. Bostons even has a Bavarian cafe.
Looks fantastic! Love the chatets! Good for Boston!
It is great. It’s nice to see them doing something productive and fun with this space. Other times of the year they have festivals and the circus.
This is really a nice slice of Boston. Loved the Santa workshop characters. Thanks for showing and brrr it looks cold. Keep warm 😊
Thank you, Garfield. I’m glad you like it. It is rather chilly. You just have to dress for it. Cheers
awesome shots, Chris 🙂 especially that skating track shot!! did you skate too? 🙂
With my Canon? Nooo
LOL, you take good care of that camera… 😀 oh, I meant to ask you, will there be again this festival with the cottages on icy lake this year? the exact word escapes me, hope my question makes sense … that was a cool series 🙂
Ice fishing!!!!! I hope so! It was cancelled last year due to an unusually warm winter. It is held in February, I think. Good times.
How gorgeous! My guilty secret when I was in MA was that (whisper it softly ) ….. I can’t skate!!!! But this would persuade me to try!
Ah. your secret is revealed. That’s okay; we can’t all skate line the Bruins.
and you’ve found Christmas perhaps, that porcupine helped a little 😉 😀 it look lovely Chris…enjoy!
Yes, the spirit of the porcupine led me to Christmas. And it was a lovely Christmas village. I may go back this week. Cheers!
I think this is a wonderful way to present this collection of Boston Winter photographs, Chris. I think our similar (but not nearly as pretty) seasonal equivalent is called Winterfest. We have a skating rink and “water fires” on the Scioto River front. We may be trying to become more classical, but have both a German Village and Victorian Village. 🙂
Wow. That sounds really awesome. I’d love to see that. Thank you
I will try to make it but the guy I date and I have the strangest, busiest schedules! It is romantic seeing the fires on the water, Chris. If I get there, I will definitely get photos. 🙂
They have an event several times a summer in Providence. We last went a few years ago and I got some great photos. If you go to your area’s event, it would be fun to see photos and what they do differently.
I have been to the summer Waterford events, but didn’t take photos, Chris. I am much more like to do this now. 🙂
Fire is tricky to photograph. It is just so bright. But so pretty on the water. 😃
Looks amazing.
It really is. I’ve never seen this plaza look prettier. It’s a great treat for the city. Thank you for the kind comment. Cheers
Just love the hand-holding couple skating! 😄
Thank you. It is tricky shooting skaters in low light like that, but this couple came out well. Cheers!
I believe that! And you picked a perfect moment! 😄 Cheers!
The trick is taking enough shots that one comes out right!
So excited to see this in Boston this holiday season ! You have captured it so well, as usual!
Thank you. It’s so nice to see the city dressed up for the holidays. Cheers!
