Things To Do in Boston This Weekend: January 2-4

In Boston, the holiday season continues through the weekend, with many things to do, including holiday lights, live entertainment, and kid-friendly activities. Visitors can experience the nostalgia of the 4-D Christmas classic "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." Children of all ages can enjoy beautiful walks among thousands of twinkling lights at the ZooLights display, as well as heart-pumping excitement at the Professional Bull Riders Singles. These are just some of the ways you can celebrate the start of the new year in a fun, festive way.

"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" comes to life in a magical, all-new 4-D Experience that expands the beloved holiday classic into an immersive adventure. Follow young Rudolph as he leaves Christmastown, befriends Hermey the Elf and Yukon Cornelius, and narrowly escapes the Abominable Snow Monster. Using the same iconic stop-motion animation as the original television special, the attraction adds stunning high-definition visuals and sensory effects to create a visually brilliant, family-friendly holiday experience.

Experience a festive winter wonderland at ZooLights, Zoo New England's beloved holiday lighting celebration at Stone Zoo. Walk through treed areas illuminated by countless sparkling lights and displays, providing an outstanding experience for people of all ages. As you walk, be on the lookout for animals that live in the area. Their presence adds extra magic to your experience. This is just one example of how this yearly tradition creates an exciting atmosphere.

Witness the excitement of PBR single events, as riders compete in various adrenaline-filled rounds. Bull riders have eight seconds or less to remain sitting on top of a bucking bull while being balanced, strong, and using proper technique. The bull is very powerful and has the potential to throw you off at any time in an intense arena. The PBR's Unleash The Beast series combines sporting and spectacle in a spectacular live event.

This weekend, there's no shortage of exciting things to do for sports fans, comedy fans, and consumers interested in local Boston shopping. With so much to choose from, tourists can enjoy various forms of entertainment or simply wander through unique, locally owned shops:
