Holiday Pops: From Symphony Hall to Faneuil Hall, Don't Miss the Extravaganza!

The Boston Pops experience is a tradition that continues to reemerge and dazzle Boston audiences. If you think the Boston Pops just dusts off the old sheet music every Fourth of July and Christmas season, well then, you're out of tune with the real meaning of tradition from the Boston Pops. Every year presents something new.
 
Thanks to the great people at the Faneuil Hall Merchants association, everyone can experience the Holiday pops in two ways this season. First, The Holiday pops perform live at Symphony hall now through December 23rd. Tickets are as hard to find as one of Santa's elves in a desert in December, but with a little magic, perhaps you may be able to score a seat or two before December 23rd. If not, fear not, because the second and new way to experience the Holiday Pops is at Blink! Brought to you by the Faneuil Hall Merchants Association, "Blink!" is a light and sound Extravaganza playing nightly now through New Years at Faneuil Hall. That means, Naughty or Nice, everyone can experience a sight and sound show that is sure to amaze and entertain just like Faneuil Halls' Restaurants, Retailers and Nightlife does all year long. But this is extra special and not to be missed. The light show is fascinating and the sound quality will amaze the most skeptical audiophile.
 
Hopefully, you can keep the Holiday nights from going too silent. Take some time and take some friends and Family out to experience the Holiday pops at Symphony Hall or, in the new tradition at Faneuil Hall.
