Seaport Summer Market
If you're wondering where Boston seems to end up on a sunny Saturday, start in the Seaport. The Seaport Summer Market brings more than 40 local artists, makers, and small businesses to Seaport Common every Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., adding another reason to spend the day by the waterfront. Between browsing handcrafted goods, grabbing a drink on a nearby patio, listening to live music, and wandering the neighborhood, it's easy to turn a quick stop into an afternoon that stretches well past lunch. The vendors change from week to week, so every visit offers something different, whether you're hunting for a unique gift or simply looking for an excuse to be outside. It's the kind of market that captures the Seaport at its summer best, busy, social, and full of people who weren't planning to stay quite this long.
