Holiday Shopping - Seaport Style!
All You Need to know About Visiting the Holiday Market at Snowport
It's that time of year again, the Holiday Market at Snowport returns to the neighborhood on November 8th! This festive open air market features over 120 local and small businesses. It's the ideal opportunity to shop in the Seaport District while checking some names off that list of yours.
Guests will enjoy live music while sipping on themed specialty cocktails and indulging in tasty snacks. They can write holiday wishes on a 25-foot interactive chalkboard while keeping their eyes open for Betty, the cutie pink yeti.
Makers at the market this year offer everything from children's items to apparel and accessories to gourmet gifts. Many of the businesses are Black-owned, Asian-owned, LGBTQIA-owned, Indigenous-owned, Latinx-owned or Women-owned (or a combination). Approximately two-thirds of the businesses are from New England and 17 are food & beverage concepts. There truly is something for every person on your gift list.
New retailers include FLYN, which sells accessories, ceramic maker Alyssa Bazaar, and Boston Soap Co., along with Sock Puppet City (featuring, you guessed it, sock puppets!) Food retailers include Cheese Louise, featuring grilled cheese and soup, Cambridge shop Curio Spice and East Boston based Petrova Chocolates, the Half Cookie, Dumpling Daughter featuring dumplings and baos, and the specialty cheese seller A Little Slice of Europe.
