Boston Unveils Inaugural ‘Frostival’ – A Citywide Festivity of Winter
BOSTON – Boston is launching its first-ever citywide winter festival, “Boston Frostival,” beginning this November, bringing a mix of new events and beloved seasonal traditions to transform the city into a winter wonderland. The month-long celebration aims to reimagine the winter experience in Boston,offering residents and visitors a diverse range of activities from drone shows to wine festivals.
