The event will feature holiday drone shows over Boston Common, an expanded Frostival Lodge in Copley Square, and a 75-foot Ferris wheel on the Rose Kennedy Greenway.
The festival, now in its second year, aims to build on the success of its inaugural run. "Boston has so much going on during the winter months," said Martha Sheridan, President and CEO of Meet Boston. "We are creating a programme to tie it all together."
