2023 JP Holiday Light Show
The 2023 JP Holiday Light Show debuted on Saturday, December 2, 2023, and played nightly from December 2 until Saturday, January 6, between 5:00 pm and 8:45pm. The eight-minute show featured a countdown between shows and played approximately every half hour.
The Jamaica Plain Holiday Light Show was the only annual large-scale laser light show in Boston during the holiday season. It projected several stories high onto the steeple of First Baptist Church in Jamaica Plain. It has become a holiday tradition in JP and for the first time ever, it included music as part of the viewing experience. Viewers scanned a QR code prior to the show and could listen to accompanying music on their own mobile device.
The show was created by artist Diego Delmar and featured the elusive white squirrel of Jamaica Plain. It celebrated the spirit of giving across many cultures and highlights of the Winter season.
Many thanks to our sponsors:
