Join us for a festive day in Boston!  Our drop off location will be at the Prudential Center where you will have time on your own for lunch, shopping and taking in the sights of the season.  Next, make your way to Symphony Hall for the 3:00 p.m. performance of Boston Pops’ Holiday Pops.  (You can either walk the 1/3 mile to Symphony Hall or meet our bus to drop packages and get a ride.)

Celebrate the most wonderful time of the year!  The Boston Pops’ Holiday Pops concert is a festive feast for the eyes, ears and soul.  This time-honored production, led by conductor Keith Lockhart, is filled with Yuletide cheer, bolstered by upbeat arrangements of classic carols and popular Christmas songs, a joyful sing-along and a visit from the one and only St. Nick himself!

These amazing concerts take place in the magical atmosphere of the world-famous Symphony Hall, beautifully decorated for the holidays to evoke all the magic and charm of the season.  Symphony Hall opened in 1900 and is, acoustically, one of the top three concert halls in the world.

Blue Zones are five regions in the world where a higher percentage of people live to an age older than average.  Although the locations are diverse, residents of these areas have shown to have commonality such as sense of purpose, higher level of physical activity, healthier diets, and a sense of belonging.  Lessons for Living Longer From People Who Lived the Longest will examine these commonalities and small changes that can result in living a longer, happier and healthier life.
