The South End Open Market is in its 4th year and were bigger and better and here to stay!

We bring a little more hip-ness and trend to the South End (did you ever think that was possible?) Our parking lot goes from a blank, paved canvas to a sea of white tents filled with original art, handmade crafts, accessories, antiques and fresh produce from New England farms. Every week our vendors are different, and every week you can be sure that stopping by will add something completely fabulous to your wardrobe, to your wish list, to your Sunday night dinner. Whether you come to sell or browse, you'll end up being hooked, becoming a Sunday regular.

Limited Space available for Opening Weekend
Don't miss out on our busiest weekend of the season! On May 19th and 20th our Market makes its seasonal debut. Last year we opened with a bang, over 8,000 customers attending the grand opening!

The Market continues through October 28th every Sunday from 10am-4pm, excluding holiday weekends. Vendors wishing to apply must commit to a minimum of 5 Sundays. So if you are interested in attending Opening Weekend, you must still select at least three other Sundays.

I highly recommend signing up for this Market as soon as possible, spaces are in high demand and categories are filling fast.
