What/Why:
This is Opening weekend for the market AND all the art studios in the South End are open for you to browse! This special event draws over 5 times as many local artists and crafters as usual and only happens twice a year so make sure to mark it down on your calendar!

The market is USUALLY just open Sundays -- but this weekend its open SAT and SUN!

The SoWa Open Market offers a shopping experience like no other in Boston. With an ever-changing group of artisans, a hip location and the chance to feel the sun on you face while you browse, it's a trip worth making. The Market offers the opportunity to meet the artists, vendors and farmers behind the work, and is fast becoming part of the South End's well-known artist's community. Every week offers shoppers something different and unique - you won't want to miss it!

The Market hosts a wide variety of vendors, whether you're looking for hand-crafted accessories, original art, antiques or just a fresh loaf of bread, you'll find painters, sculptors, photographers, clothing and jewelry designers, milliners, handbag designers, house wares, antique dealers, florists, bakers, local farmer's produce, and much more every week!
