New attractions include something for grownups only

Boston's popular cold-weather attraction, "Boston Winter," is returning for the second year. Boston Winter takes over City Hall Plaza with an outdoor skating rink and a holiday shopping market. The event attracted more than 300,000 residents and visitors during its debut last year."Last year was an overwhelming success in showing the potential for City Hall Plaza to serve as a holiday destination," said Mayor Marty Walsh. This year, Boston Winter will be open seven days a week, starting on Nov. 24. It will run until Dec. 31, the city said. "I look forward to opening Boston Winter for the second year in a row, welcoming friends, families and residents to City Hall Plaza to enjoy this new holiday tradition," said Walsh. Headline attractions this year include an enchanted Christmas tree maze, a Santa House, a Bavarian Village, and Vinopolis, an interactive wine and beer experience. Gifts and foods will be available at over 85 chalets, the city said. The outdoor ice skating path will be redesigned and will remain open until February. "We're thrilled to continue to work with Mayor Walsh and the City of Boston and bring 'Boston Winter' to life again this season," said Sean Gray, COO of Berkshire Bank, a sponsor of the event.
