Wayzgoose Holiday Kick Off

Step into the 19th century-style letterpress printing shop Bowne & Co. at the Seaport Museum to kick off the holiday season at the annual Wayzgoose—a 500-year-old printers’ tradition celebrating the changing of the seasons.

Join the Museum community for light refreshments as the printers of Bowne & Co. give you the opportunity to get hands-on with printing equipment from the Seaport Museum’s working collection and print your own holiday-themed works. For those looking to get a head start on holiday shopping, be the first to check out this season’s delightful selection of holiday gifts, cards, and other seasonal paper goods at the Bowne & Co. gift emporium.

The charming shop offers the perfect setting to continue the long-standing Wayzgoose tradition. This event provides a special opportunity for printers to share the fruits of their labor with colleagues and friends, to raise a glass in celebration, and to reflect on the year and the joys of the upcoming holiday season. Registration is encouraged for this free event but walkups will be accommodated as possible. You are welcome to visit anytime between 6pm and 9pm, and you don’t have to stay for the full event. Access to this event includes walking up and down a few stairs.
