The historic events of December 16, 1773 once again get their due when the Old South Meeting House and the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum team up for the 246th anniversary Boston Tea Party Reenactment. On December 16 at 6:30 p.m., head to the Old South Meeting House on the Freedom Trail for the ticketed “Meeting of The Body of the People,” a spirted debate on the tea tax that mirrors the one that took place in its halls more than two centuries ago. Free events follow, including a fife and drum corps-led procession to the waterfront at 7:30 p.m. and a re-creation of the tea toss into Boston Harbor at 8:30 p.m. Tickets for the indoor debate sell out, so grab them up quickly before they disappear like those bygone aromatic leaves into the murky depths.
