Gazit Horizons, a real estate investment firm that bought Marketplace Center in 2019 (and this year proposed building a retail and office tower in the space) says through a spokesperson that it opted against bringing back the festivities due to uncertainty about the safety of attracting large gatherings. O’Malley declined to explain the specifics of the usual cost-sharing arrangement. But it appears that although Faneuil Hall Marketplace was game for a reboot, Marketplace Center-which is owned and operated separately, and usually pays a share of the cost for the festivities-was not. In 2019, Faneuil Hall Marketplace told us Blink! was its biggest marketing expense of the year.Īfter the 2020 hiatus, many fans had expected to see its return. Each year the landmark was draped in hundreds of thousands of LED lights running up and down Quincy Market that blinked and changed color as Christmas music played through speakers. A lighting ceremony, complete with celebrity guests and a live-broadcast WBZ Holiday Spectacular, drew crowds of thousands. In the years since it first debuted in 2012, both the lit-up tree and Blink! had become holiday traditions at the popular shopping destination. “It’s not going to be what people are used to, but it will be exciting.” “We’re kind of focused on Quincy Market for this holiday season,” O’Malley says. Faneuil will also welcome a new kid-friendly exhibit featuring animatronic dinosaurs, called Dino Safari, on Friday.

The tree is set to be installed the day before Thanksgiving, and a small lighting ceremony is planned for the week after the holiday. Instead, O’Malley says a 20-foot-tall tree will be installed inside of the Quincy Market rotunda, with holiday décor inside and outside the market.

This year, the tradition was also “not an option,” Faneuil Hall Marketplace General Manager Joseph O’Malley tells Boston. The two holiday attractions, which are funded by a partnership between Faneuil Hall Marketplace and Marketplace Center, were canceled last year, organizers said, due to the financial impacts and health concerns of COVID-19. Both the tree-an 80-foot-tall spruce typically found in the round courtyard near the Greenway-and a display of twinkling lights synchronized with holiday music, called Blink!, have been called off.
