Newbury Woods

Starting November 18, our plaza becomes Boston’s first LED urban tree forest. With 60,000 LED lights, Newbury Woods brings vibrancy and glow to the city’s darkest months. Traverse the illuminated space, pause beneath the canopy, and feel the pull to enter Lyrik’s world.

ÜNI by Boston Ballet

From December 5 through 7, Lyrik hosts the multimedia pop-up experience ÜNI by Boston Ballet and MASARY. It’s designed as a public portal to dance — part intimate experience, part visual spectacle — making contemporary movement accessible in a new setting.
