Boston's Event Calendar for February 2024 kicks off with the festive Chinese New Year Lion Dance parade in Chinatown, and also includes the Boston Beanpot hockey tournament, a stellar lineup of shows in Boston's Theatre District, and the ever-popular annual return of Disney on Ice during school vacation week.

On the concert stage, look for shows from top national and international stars.

February 2024 holidays in Boston: 

  • Valentine's Day - February 14 (not an official holiday)
  • President's Day - Monday, February 19 (official holiday; most government offices will be closed)
  • Winter Vacation Week - Starting on President's Day, students at public schools in Boston and the rest of Massachusetts will be enjoying winter vacation for the entire week 

Weather during February can be a mix of snow and sunny, cold and warm days. 

Embrace the wintry weather by ice skating on Frog Pond, skiing or snowboarding on a nearby slope, or walking around the city when freshly fallen snow turns it white and sparkling.  On the warmer days, look for buds forming on trees in Boston's parks.

Top Ways to Explore Boston during February


Indoors, the theater season continues in full swing, concerts take place almost every night, and the Boston Bruins and Celtics attract crowds of fans to TD Garden.  And even though the New England Patriots won't return to the Super Bowl again this year, you can still watch the game and celebrate in Boston's many sports bars. 

Boston hotels continue to give you their cheapest discount rates of the year during February.  This the perfect time to enjoy the city's world-class museums, restaurants, and concerts.

Chinese New Year Events - Lion Dance Parade 2024 

Chinese New Year parade in Boston
Lion Dance near the Chinatown Gate

Boston's huge Chinese New Year Parade in Chinatown features lion dances, drums, martial arts, and firecrackers, and when the weather cooperates, dragon dances.  (The dragon dancers' somewhat fragile costumes don't hold up well in snow, rain, or strong wind, so Boston's January weather doesn't usually cooperate.)

Although Chinese New Year 2024 officially starts on February 10 to welcome the Year of the Dragon, the date when Boston's big Lion Parade through Chinatown (plus a couple of other related activities) takes place is on Sunday, February 18, 10 am - 3 pm. 

The Lion Dance parade kicks off at the main stage in Philips Square (corner of Harrison Ave and Beach Street), continues on Essex Street, winds its way other nearby Chinatown streets, and then the dozen or so groups of performers spread out through the neighborhood to continue their performances for the rest of the afternoon.  Depending on the weather (ie, not too much snow or ice on the streets), there may also be martial arts demonstrations and drumming.

An indoor event, Chinese New Year Cultural Village, takes place inside the China Trade Building (2 Boylston Street) and gives young children and their parents a place to warm up between 10am and 3pm.  This event is sponsored by the Chinatown Main Street organization and includes special performances, traditional Chinese crafts, games, snacks, other family-friendly activities, and festive lanterns and balloons. 

To join another fun Lunar New Year Celebration event in Chinatown on February 18, head over to the Pao Arts Center (99 Albany Street) where you can try your hand at art and enjoy enteractive workshops and performances from 11am - 3pm.  This event is for all ages.  A donation of $10 is appreciated.

Closest T station: Orange Line/Chinatown (or walk over from any Downtown Boston T station
Cost: Free

Northeastern Huskies vs Boston University ice hockey - Photo credit:  Derek Yu

The legendary Boston Beanpot rivalry pits teams from Boston's 4 major hockey schools against each other in a battle on the ice at TD Garden during the first two Monday nights in February.  The winner gets ... (drumroll) ... the Beanpot trophy. 

The tournament has taken place every season since 1952.

Here's how it works: 

Week 1 features two games, as the teams pair off against each other for the semi-finals. 

In Week 2, winners battle each other for the championship and #2 slot, while the losers play each other in a "consolation" game to see who will place 3rd and who will, ahem, "win" the last-place slot.

Get get your tickets here

How do the schools stack up?  Here are the number of Boston Beanpot Hockey Championships won by each team since the tournament began in 1952:

  • Boston University Terriors - 31 Championships
  • Boston College Eagles - 20 Championships
  • Harvard University Crimson - 11 Championships
  • Northeastern University Huskies - 8 Championships (ok, not impressive - but with 3 wins in the last few years, this is the team to watch!)
