Kick off the yuletide season by heading over to Faneuil Hall Marketplace (refer to listing, page 26) for the annual Blink! music and light spectacular. Following a sensational tree lighting ceremony on November 22, Blink! enters its third year as Boston’s newest holiday tradition, continuing nightly with a synchronized light show that features more than 350,000 LED bulbs dancing to the music of the Hub’s beloved Holiday Pops. Catch the luminous, seven-minute extravaganza every half hour, seven days a week, from 4–10 p.m. In a giving mood? The Globe Santa and the New England Patriots Toy Drive are there to raise money and accept gifts for the less fortunate.
