BOSTON TOURISM GROUP ISSUES FREE TRAVEL & CULTURE GUIDE OF CHRISTMAS & WINTER ACTIVITIES
 |
The 28-page color magazine details upcoming holiday concerts, dances and theatre in Massachusetts and the New England region from November 2016 to March 2017. It lists selected Irish pubs, gift shops and cultural groups in the Bay State plus hotels and travel agencies for visitors from out-of-town.
Among the features in this issue are profiles of Ray Flynn, who was honored recently by the City of Boston for his distinguished career, and Séamus Connolly, whose much awaited collection of Irish music was posted at Boston College.
Also featured: details on celebrating Christmas and New Year’s in Dublin, Ireland, and a preview of new direct air routes from New England to Ireland in 2017.
The Guide is available for free at tourism centers across the state and at museums, hotels and cultural venues. See distribution centers.
The Boston Irish Tourism Association was formed in 2000 to promote cultural tourism year round. It publishes three travel and culture guides each year, and has created an Irish Heritage Trail highlighting Irish landmarks in Boston and around the state.
For further details on the festivals and concerts, as well as year-round Irish and cultural activities, hotel packages, gift shops and Irish pubs, visit IrishMassachusetts.com.
More than 24% of residents in Massachusetts claim Irish ancestry, making it the most Irish state in the United States, according to the US Census.
