Come and join Merrimack Parks & Recreation as we travel down the Boch Center in Boston to see Cirque du Soleil's "Twas the Night Before".

'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE... is Cirque du Soleil's first holiday show, based on the classic poem “A Visit from Saint Nicolas” by Clement Clarke Moore. This festive show brings a flurry of love, Christmas cheer, thrilling acrobatics and hugely lovable characters that will create a new holiday tradition for families to cherish.

It’s the holidays, and this year, things are different. For years, Isabella and her father have read “A Visit from Saint Nicholas” “Twas the Night Before Christmas” together. But this year Isabella feels like she’s outgrown the family tradition. But then the magic of the poem comes to life, and Isabella and her father are unexpectedly separated by a snowstorm that sends them on a fantastical journey.

In a winter wonderland inspired by the poem, they discover whimsical characters, acrobats, children and reindeer who reunite father and daughter in the holiday spirit.

Registration includes deluxe Motor Coach Transportation and balcony level seating to the show. Trip departs from Twin Bridge Park, located at 485 Daniel Webster Highway in Merrimack at 11:15 am and we return to Merrimack at approximately 4:30 pm.
