Our Story

23 Years of Supporting Local Makers

Founded in 2003, New England Open Markets was the first weekly outdoor market in the Northeast focused exclusively on handmade goods, and we've been going strong ever since. We curate a unique market experience bringing together independent makers, artists, vintage dealers & local food in some of the most iconic locations across New England.

Beyond the markets themselves, we believe in the power of placemaking: activating public spaces, driving foot traffic to local neighborhoods, and boosting the local economy one Saturday at a time.

We're proud to have served as an incubator for hundreds of microbusinesses, giving makers a venue to grow their audience, build their brand, and thrive.
