Quincy Market Holiday Event: Blink!

Blink!
Nightly Performances Featuring The Music Of The Holiday Pops 
November 22, 2014 - January 4, 2015

I visited Quincy Market recently and captured the 'Blink!' moment in my Android Smart Phone.

A New Boston Tradition is Born this year: Blink!

Blink! - the state-of-the-art light & sound extravaganza that transforms every inch of America's first open marketplace - returned to Faneuil Hall Marketplace and Marketplace Center for a third year in November 2014.

This magical and unforgettable light show uses over 350,000 LED lights to illuminate Boston's skyline - to the song stylings of the Holiday Pops - in a seven-minute spectacle that runs continuously each evening. 

The lights dance seamlessly to the music through every inch of Faneuil Hall, including the largest Christmas tree in the northeast, to create a spectacle not to be missed.

Performance Times:

Blink! runs every half hour beginning at 4:30 pm by "The Big Tree" on the East End and then runs every half hour beginning at 5:00 pm by "The Three Trees" in the North Market.

Blink! Fun Facts:

  • It is the FIRST tree lighting ceremony of the season.
  • Last year's event attracted over 30,000 attendees for the opening night ceremony and over 200,000 additional visitors over the holiday season.
  • The holiday tree is even bigger than the beloved tree in Rockefeller Center.
  • Faneuil Hall Marketplace is an official New England Patriots Toy Drive drop off location.
  • Globe Santa will appear in the Rotunda at Faneuil Hall Marketplace every Wednesday through Sunday during the holiday season.

Praful-Quincy Market has so much historical significance even in daylight, I can just imagine how impressive it is with the lights as shown in your photo.
