Celebrate the Holidays on Boston’s Historic Freedom Trail®
Historic Holiday Strolls Begin November 15
The Freedom Trail® Foundation invites revelers to celebrate this holiday season on the annual Historic Holiday Strolls. The festive atmosphere of the city, set against the unique backdrop of Boston’s historic sites and the American Revolution, makes these merry 90-minute tours a perfect way to celebrate the holidays. Walk the Freedom Trail and discover how Boston’s holiday traditions evolved on the Strolls offered Thursdays through Sundays at 3:30 p.m. from November 15 through January 2019.
Led by 19th-century Dickensian costumed guides departing from the ArtsBoston Booth at Faneuil Hall, the Strolls are complete with a tour of holiday lights and Christmas trees along the Freedom Trail, plus an exclusive visit to the Omni Parker House for signature refreshments and world-famous Boston Cream Pie. Following the Stroll, guests receive discounts off museum store purchases at Freedom Trail sites, including the Old South Meeting House, Old State House, Paul Revere House, and Old North Church (valid with any Historic Holiday Stroll receipt from November through February). As a special bonus all participants are entered to win a brunch for two at the award-winning Parker’s Restaurant at the Omni Parker House.
Tickets are $29 for adults and $19 for children, and reservations are required 24 hours in advance. The Freedom Trail Historic Holiday Strolls may also be booked as a private group tour.
