Continuing one of Boston's most beloved holiday traditions, Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops open the 2022 Boston Pops Holiday Series on December 2, kicking off a season that runs through December 24. Kids’ Matinee performances are geared toward younger children and are shorter in length (70 minutes), with no intermission, plus an opportunity for post-concert treats and a visit with Santa.
In 2023, the Holiday Pops Kids Matinees take place on December 2 at 3:00pm (Sensory Friendly) & at 11:00am on December 9, 10, 17, 23, & 24th.
These special family concerts include a children's sing-along and photos with Santa. For those seated at the floor tables, there are special kid-friendly menu options along with holiday treats.
Celebrate the holiday season with one of Boston's finest traditions, Holiday Pops at Symphony Hall. Bring your family and friends to a matinee or evening show and sing Christmas favorites with the Boston Pops.
Sensory Friendly Performance - Dec. 3 at 10:30am
This show is designed for all families with children or adults diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder or sensory sensitivities. This is a shortened, 60-minute version of our standard Holiday Pops concert, with a flexible, nonjudgmental environment.
Modifications include relaxed house rules, reduced volume and lighting levels, extra space for movement, available noise reduction headphones, a designated quiet room and support spaces, modified food concessions, and credentialed autism therapist volunteers on site.
No floor service concessions will be available at this concert.
