Mass General Brigham Health Plan is proud to once again support “Snowport,” an annual winter market in Boston’s Seaport neighborhood. Snowport will be open through February 28, 2026 and feature several vendors, activities, and events.
Back by popular demand, Mass General Brigham Health Plan is sponsoring the iceless curling lanes. This family-friendly activity promotes health and wellness and creates an opportunity for people of all ages to get moving. The curling lanes are free, open to the public, and no experience is required.
In addition, Mass General Brigham Health Plan is hosting the Winter Wish Wall, a 25-foot chalkboard where guests can write hopes, dreams, and messages for the year ahead.
“As part of our commitment to the community, we are very excited to be offering the Winter Wish Wall at Snowport,” said Stanley Hochberg, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Mass General Brigham Health Plan. “This is a wonderful activity that encourages our community to prioritize health and well-being and sets the tone for a fulfilling year ahead.”
Visit the Snowport website for additional information on planned activities. You can also read more in the Boston Globe, Northshore Magazine, and MassLive.
