New England Open Markets has been supporting the local small business community for 20 years. We curate a unique market experience bringing together local artisans, makers, and vintage dealers in some of the best locations in the region. What started in 2003 as a passion project to connect consumers with local artists and makers has grown into a New England tradition. Come meet the makers and artisans at our three headline open markets this year; there’s something for everyone in Boston’s bustling Boylston Street, Cambridge’s vibrant Harvard Square, and along Plymouth’s historic waterfront!

At NEOM, we're proud to have served as an incubator for microbusinesses over the past 20 years, giving them a venue to make meaningful connections with the public, helping them to thrive and grow. From our headline outdoor open markets to our festive holiday markets , we aim to help uplift small businesses of all kinds and pride ourselves on curating an inclusive space that centers and celebrates diversity.
