First Night Boston and Conventures are thrilled for another year of the New Year’s Eve Midnight Fireworks celebration, taking place over the inner Boston Harbor between the North End and East Boston neighborhoods of the city. The nearly 40-year tradition returns to Boston Harbor, made possible through generous support from local businesses, waterfront organizations, and the City of Boston.
As part of the First Night celebration, visitors are invited to explore the waterfront, complete with ice sculptures on display in East Boston, Charlestown, Downtown, South Boston, the Seaport, and Revere. As the year draws to a close, Boston Harbor Now, the Friends of Christopher Columbus Park, and others will ring in the New Year with a fireworks display that begins promptly at midnight. Public viewing is free and available along the Harborwalk at Fan Pier, Christopher Columbus Park, and the East Boston waterfront.
Getting Here
Ice sculptures are located close to transit stations across all major subway lines. Visit Courthouse (Silver Line), Aquarium (Blue Line), Maverick (Blue Line), Haymarket (Green / Orange Lines) or South Station (Red Line) for a short walk to ice sculptures and the Boston Harborwalk. Check out the MBTA website for service information.
We highly recommend using public transportation, ride share, biking, or walking to view the Ice Sculptures and Midnight Fireworks, but some recommended parking locations are below:
