About this event

The SoWa Open Market is one of Boston's largest open-air farmer and artist markets, held every Sunday from May through November in the South End's historic SoWa Art and Design District. Over 175 regional and local makers set up booths to sell handmade goods including jewelry, artwork, pottery, home decor, and clothing alongside a farmers market with fresh local produce and baked goods. Food trucks offer diverse cuisine options, while the outdoor Beer Garden features live music and lawn games. The market occupies multiple blocks along Harrison Avenue and the pedestrian-only Thayer Street, surrounded by artist studios, galleries, boutiques, and restaurants. The event attracts thousands of visitors and has become a cherished Boston tradition for both vendors and shoppers seeking quality artisan products and community atmosphere.
