Light Up Seaport brings Boston together for a magical night of fun and entertainment. Now in its eighth year, the highly anticipated community event kicks off the holiday season with a tree lighting, live entertainment, and a special appearance by Seaport’s star celebrity, Betty the Yeti.

On Friday, December 6, Boston’s largest holiday tree, standing at 52-feet tall and adorned with over 10,000 twinkling lights, will be lit. The program, hosted by Cheermeisters Ashlee Feldman & Amina Smith, will feature live music performances on Seaport Common by popular local acts Boston City Singers, Divine Sweater, The Gracenotes, and ToriTori. It will be broadcast on NBC10 Boston and streaming platforms such as Peacock and Roku in a special live edition of The HUB Today.
