Boston’s Seaport district will transform into a winter destination once again when the Snowport Holiday Market opens on Friday, November 6, 2026, for its sixth consecutive season. Organized by Boston Seaport by WS, the market will run through December 27 — closed only on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day — at 100 Seaport Boulevard.
Shop local this holiday season
This year’s edition will feature more than 130 vendors, with over one-third based in Boston and many more drawn from across Massachusetts and New England. A significant portion of participating businesses are minority-owned and/or women-founded. The lineup spans artisan goods, handcrafted gifts, and seasonal food offerings, continuing the market’s focus on independent entrepreneurs over large commercial brands.
What’s up at Snowport
Beyond shopping, Snowport will offer a series of themed activations and experiential installations throughout the season. Returning and new features include The Stage by Mohegan Sun, The Winter Wish Wall by Mass General Brigham Health Plan, The Mistletoe Arch by Constant Contact, The Warming Tent by Bermuda Tourism Authority, The Creativity Corner by The LEGO Group, and Presents Place. A highlight on the calendar is the Light Up Seaport tree lighting on December 4, 2026, presented by Constant Contact.
