Free Live Nativity and Christmas Celebration in the Boston Common
This free family-friendly Christmas event features a live nativity scene with real animals, shepherds, wise men, and angels.
Re-live the stories and songs of childhood with readings of the Christmas story and live carolers throughout the night. There will be a Spanish reading of the Christmas story at 7pm. The focus will be on the true meaning of Christmas.
Event organizers are also collecting new and gently used winter accessories (scarves, hats, mittens, etc.) at the event to distribute to those in need throughout Boston.
