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.
