fire  ice festival photoThe Lawn on D kicks off its winter season with Winter on D’s inaugural event – Boston’s first Fire & Ice Festival!

Celebrate the beauty of the holiday season as The Lawn on D is magically transformed into a winter wonderland. The Fire & Ice Festival offers fun daytime activities and attractions that will keep you happily frolicking in the cold including an ice labyrinth, free daytime and evening activities including kids dance parties and performances featuring Boston’s finest fire art performers.

The Fire & Ice Festival will feature one of the largest ice labyrinths in America that will allow visitors to walk through a glass-like maze built out of nearly 300 giant ice blocks bathed in colorful lights during the evening hours. Guests can also admire the chilling beauty of a hand-crafted sculpture at the end of their icy journey.

Watch Boston’s finest fire art performers manipulate the orange and yellow hues of fire at their will. Feel the heat and watch the flames flicker and dance in the evening sky by skilled performers in an icy winter wonderland.

Got a chill? Kids and adults can warm up under the winter pavilion with a nice warm cup of cocoa! The pavilion will feature a beautifully carved ice bar, serving up seasonal favorites including apple cider and hot cocoa for the little ones, along with wine and beer for adults.

Fire & Ice Festival goers can sit by one of the many fire pits placed around on the lawn to warm their hands and feet after grabbing a bite to eat from one of our food trucks including free samples of Legal Seafood’s world-famous chowder and good hearty bites from Stoked Pizza.

Music and entertainment will be provided throughout the three day Fire & Ice Festival.
