Winter Break for JQES is December 22, 2025 through January 2, 2026 — a full two weeks off from school. School resumes on Monday, January 5, 2026.
To help families enjoy the break, we’re gathering ideas for free and low-cost activities happening around Boston.
This shared list is a simple way for JQES families to help each other discover great programs, events, and places to explore during the winter break and throughout the season.
You’re welcome to add:
Free or low-cost events for kids and families
Library programs, museum days, community events, performances, and outdoor fun
Activities open to the general public
When you find something fun, add it so other JQES families can enjoy it too!
