Join us for a one-of-a-kind holiday experience as Downtown Cambridge comes alive with light, sound, and community spirit!

🕕 6:50 PM – Opening remarks at City Hall Civic Square (50 Dickson Street)

🎵 7:00 PM – Countdown and start of the walk through downtown

Begin at City Hall Civic Square and follow a magical route illuminated by 30+ light installations throughout the core. Participants are invited to bring portable speakers or boomboxes to play one of four tracks of Phil Kline’s iconic composition — together creating a mesmerizing, layered soundscape that fills the streets with harmony and light.

✨ Local businesses will be open late until 9 PM for one night only — so stop in, shop, and soak up the festive atmosphere!

🕯️ Local ambassadors will be handing out Downtown Shopping Directories to help you explore cafés, restaurants, and shops along the way.
