"This is Boston's version of London's Portobello market, with vintage clothes sellers and young fashion and jewelry designers rubbing elbows with artists and cheese makers and antiques dealers. What's exciting about this market is that it changes each week. So, some Sundays you'll discover a local artist who is there only that day. Everyone sells from tables beneath white tents."
-New York Times

"The South End Open Market has been called a Manhattan-style shopping experience, but we like to believe it is Boston-style, uniquely ours. Do the outdoor markets in New York boast a spread of Brookline's own Clear Flour Bread? Do they sell Fort Point designer Marie Galvin's exotic hats? Hanging baskets from North Shore farms? We didn't think so...."
- Meredith Anderson - Boston Globe

At this energetic four-year-old market, a sea of tents brings new life to a nondescript parking lot in the heart of Boston's hip South End neighborhood. An eclectic mix of antique collectors, emerging designers, local jewelers, artisanal bakers, greengrocers, and painters all sell their wares in a lively environment that provides a great excuse to stay in the city on a summer weekend.
