BOSTON, MA — A popular summer tradition is making its return to Boston’s Seaport neighborhood, bringing dozens of local makers, live entertainment and family-friendly activities back to the waterfront.
The Seaport Summer Market will kick off its fifth season on May 2, relocating this year to Seaport Common at 85 Northern Ave. The free public market will run for 18 Saturdays from May through September, featuring more than 60 vendors throughout the season and over 40 each weekend.
Organizers say the market continues to grow as a showcase for small businesses and independent creators from across the region.
“We love bringing Seaport Summer Market back each year as a way to support small, local businesses,” said Jessica Chen, Assistant Manager, Community & Partnerships for Boston Seaport by WS Development. “We’re excited to kick off the fifth season and welcome the community to discover new makers and returning favorites while enjoying the neighborhood all summer long.”
Each weekend will feature a rotating lineup of “The Makers Show,” highlighting local, women-owned, minority-owned, and independent businesses offering apparel, jewelry, skincare, home décor, pet goods, original artwork, specialty foods, and more.
New vendors this season include Aquidneck Honey, offering raw honey products; Fairy Greens, featuring handcrafted bath and body products and candles; Matt Hassan Art, showcasing original artwork; and Kong Mountain Tea, known for unique teas and teaware.
Returning favorites include Sand + Stone, offering handmade sustainable apparel and accessories; With Love, Paint, featuring apparel and accessories; Aurabead, specializing in jewelry; and La Folie Press, known for stationery.
In addition to shopping, visitors can expect a live DJ each weekend along with family-friendly programming such as lawn games, a bubble machine, and an instrument petting zoo hosted by the Fort Point Artists Community (FPAC).
The market is free and open to the public.
