Our Events – Christmas in the City

Christmas in the City Party: Our signature event, an all-out extravaganza for families currently in shelters

Over the years, we found that hosting a blow-out December holiday party just wasn’t enough for us. Today, we run other events for children and families experiencing homelessness or otherwise in need.

Monday Mania: Parents in need “shop” for free from over 25,000 gifts for kids, making the holiday season a happy and joyous one

Halloween in the City: Trick-or-Treat comes to Boston’s inner city

Thanksgiving in the City: Putting a holiday meal on the table for hundreds of families in need

Job Fair: Because everyone deserves the opportunity to find good work

Winter Wonderland: The day before the party, we open up our indoor amusement park for a fundraiser

Christmas in the City NY: An offspring event, founded by offspring Chip Kennedy in 2018

It’s Patriots Day!

Under normal circumstances, the Boston Marathon would be held, Jake Kennedy would be running it for the 38th consecutive time, and afterwards, runners and non-runners alike (including those who celebrate Patriots Day by taking in that rare 11 a.m. start-time game at Fenway) would be gathering at Kennedy Brothers PT on Franklin Street – a.k.a., Christmas in the City HQ – for a beer and barbeque.
