It’s the most wonderful time of the year… our Winter Lights Display has officially returned to the park! Created by Studio HHH, this year’s display features 9 Hatchlings, located throughout the park between Chinatown and the North End. This creative activation was selected as the winning design from the Greenway Conservancy’s 2023 Request for Proposals for a winter lights installation, and is returning to The Greenway for a second year.
Hatchlings pays joyful homage to one of Boston’s architectural gems, the Hatch Shell on The Charles River Esplanade. This structure inspired Studio HHH to pose a whimsical question: What if the Hatch Shell hatched a cluster of baby “shells” that wandered off down The Greenway like adventurous ducklings?
The Hatchlings will be illuminated during the day and at night, and utilize different combinations of grid and solar power, including one fully solar-powered display!
Be sure to follow our Instagram, as well as @hhh_designstudio, for more updates on our Winter Lights displays. The Hatchlings will remain in the park until the end of February, so there is plenty of time to make sure you see them all!

This 100% solar-powered installation, brought to life by the creative minds at Studio HHH, whimsically imagines what would happen if the iconic Hatch Shell hatched a cluster of baby 'shells' that embarked on a delightful adventure down The Greenway.
These nine miniature Hatch Shells, affectionately known as the Hatchlings, will dot The Greenway and the Esplanade, each adorned with vibrant arches in colorful animated lights. It's a playful celebration of Boston's landmarks and a nod to a brighter, more environmentally sustainable future.
