WHAT'S POPPIN'

Hello, Snowport! Boston's Favorite Holiday Market is Back this Friday ☃️🛍️

3 friends enjoying Boston's Snowport Holiday Market

Now that November has begun, there’s one event that locals look forward to more than any other: Snowport! This FREE annual celebration has become a must-see winter destination in the Seaport, and for good reason. Whether you're an art lover, a foodie, or just in the mood for some festive fun, Snowport has it all.

👯 Celebrating Local and Seasonal Joy – Snowport isn’t just about looking good on Instagram (though it certainly does that!). It’s all about supporting local businesses, creatives, and artists who bring their unique flair to the market. This year, there are over 120 local makers, offering everything from handmade jewelry to cozy winterwear, and a plenty of mouthwatering food options. Whether you’re sipping a holiday cocktail or savoring a local delicacy under the heated tent (thank you, JetBlue), you’ll feel the warmth of community and seasonal cheer.

🍸 Themed Bars, Cocktails, and Live Music – Snowport’s festive bars are a destination in themselves! With a signature drink and mocktail at each one, the holiday spirit is guaranteed to flow. Try the Betty the Yeti-ni at Betty’s Bar or the Dizzy Eggnog Dizzy at The Dizzy Dreidel. And when you need to take a break from the hustle and bustle, head over to the Jingle Bar for a live performance by some of Boston’s most talented musicians. Mohegan Music Mondays brings a fresh lineup every week.

🌟 Betty the Yeti: Boston’s Favorite Cryptozoological Queen – Who needs a traditional holiday mascot when you have Betty? The one and only Yeti queen is back at Snowport. Make sure to snag a Betty plushie or try your luck at the Holiday Market Claw Machine Booth – all proceeds benefit 826 Boston, an organization supporting youth creativity and education.

🏙 A Winter Wonderland Like No Other – Snowport is more than just a market—it’s an entire experience. From the photobooth fun to the crafting corner, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. And with Snowport set against the beautiful backdrop of Seaport, you’re guaranteed a picture-perfect outing.

So, whether you’re looking for a unique gift, a place to warm up with a hot toddy, or simply a bit of holiday magic to lift your spirits, Snowport is THE place to be this winter.
