The MLK Weekend 2024 brings tributes and winter activities to Boston. 

Free things to do in Boston this January will give your wallet a rest after a long December. Suit up in hats, scarves, and long underwear for First Day Hikes Cape Cod or a Free Entrance Day in the Naional Parks with the family. Plus, you can check out a Family Dance Party or pop over to the Boston Library in Charlestown for the free Evan Haller: Music Performance for Kids.

These are just a few of our favorite things to do in Boston this January—We’re adding more events to our Boston Events Calendar every day.

It's New Year's Eve Weekend 2023 in Boston, a perfectly festive time to continue celebrating the season with family and friends. Enjoy a musical NYE with the Boston Baroque or take in "Cinderella" hosted by the Tanglewood Marionettes.

First Night Boston 2024, a celebration of artistic performances since 1975, provides entertainment throughout the city. Activities include evening fireworks and a pyrotechnics show on Copley Square to welcome the new year. If, however, you'd rather have kids in deep slumber when the clock strikes midnight, take them to an early celebration at Bessie's Rockin New Years Eve in Acton or the Boston Children's Museum for Happy Noon Years Eve.

Looking for New Year's celebrations for Boston kids that don't go until midnight? New Year's Eve with kids is a time for festivities. Do you like your new year celebration to be rockin' in the noon year, marveling at ice sculptures, or experiencing spectacular light displays? There are lots of things to do on New Year's Eve that will make the day or night festive for your family. Enjoy the New Year's celebrations in Boston with your kids!

There are also virtual events for those that want to ring in the new year at home. Check out our 15 Ideas for Celebrating New Year's at Home with Kids. Happy 2024!
