About this Event
THE PERFECT WAY TO KICK OFF THE HOLIDAY SEASON IN BOSTON
Kick off the season with an afternoon of festive sips, sweets, shopping and surprises throughout Boston’s West End and North End.
Check in at The Greatest Bar beginning at noon to receive your official Holiday Kick-Off Social Tote and Passport, a Back Door Donut and a complimentary Downeast Cider.
Then explore participating restaurants, shops and pop-ups throughout the West End, Boston Public Market and North End at your own pace.
Along the way, enjoy holiday cocktails, hard cider, seasonal bites, festive treats, exclusive offers, shopping discounts, giveaways, music, photo moments and other holiday experiences.
This isn’t a bar crawl. It’s a self-guided neighborhood Social celebrating the start of the holiday season, friendship and Boston’s local businesses.
Come with friends—or come on your own and meet other solo guests ready to explore together.
