Greenway Artisan Market by Somerville Flea

Somerville Flea’s Greenway Artisan Market is running on The Rose Kennedy Greenway over Memorial Day weekend, giving Boston shoppers a daytime open-air market on Saturday, May 23, and Sunday, May 24. The market is part of the Greenway’s 2026 season and is described by The Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy and Meet Boston as a recurring outdoor event featuring local artists, crafters and independent designers. The Greenway says the market operates from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in May, June, September and October, with longer summer hours in July and August. Meet Boston lists the 2026 season from May 9 through October 24. ### Where is the market taking place this weekend? The Rose Kennedy Greenway lists the Greenway Artisan Market on Atlantic Avenue in downtown Boston, in the park corridor near the waterfront. The market’s own site says it is on the Boston waterfront and steps from Faneuil Hall. The Greenway describes the event as a public-facing weekend market in its Wharf District parks. A separate Greenway events flyer for May says the market began its 2026 run on May 2 and takes place on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. ### Who runs the Greenway Artisan Market? Somerville Flea runs the Greenway Artisan Market, according to The Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy, Meet Boston and the market’s own website. The Greenway’s vending page names Greg Ghazil and Abby O’Connell of The Somerville Flea as the operators of the artisan market program. The Greenway and Meet Boston both describe the event as a “vibrant open-air market” featuring area artists, crafters and independent designers. The market website uses similar language and says visitors can browse work from artists, makers, stylists and independent designers. ### What can visitors expect to find there? The Greenway says shoppers will find exceptional art, locally produced products and other goods from more than 50 vendors. The market website also says more than 50 vendors take part. Meet Boston’s event listing says visitors can pair the market with other Greenway attractions, including food trucks and the Rings Fountain. The Greenway’s event description similarly points visitors to tree-lined promenades, city views and nearby food options while they shop. ### What are the hours during Memorial Day weekend? The Rose Kennedy Greenway says the market runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays in May. That schedule covers Sunday, May 24, 2026, the remaining weekend day of the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Meet Boston’s event page lists the same May hours and identifies the market as a recurring weekly Saturday event during the season. A May 2026 Greenway flyer also says the market is open Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at this point in the calendar. ### How long does the 2026 season last? Meet Boston lists the 2026 Greenway Artisan Market season from May 9, 2026, through October 24, 2026. The Greenway’s event page separately says the market runs from May 2 through June 28 in one recurring listing and continues on weekends in May, June, September and October, with summer hours extending later. The Greenway’s vending page says Somerville Flea runs the market every Saturday from May through October. The market’s own site says vendor applications for 2026 are open and links to location, contact and vendor information for the season. ### Where can people check vendors and upcoming dates? Meet Boston’s weekend guide and event listing both carry current details for the market, including timing and location. The Greenway Artisan Market website also includes vendor application material, location information and market updates. The Rose Kennedy Greenway’s events calendar continues to list upcoming market dates as the season progresses. The next scheduled weekends extend beyond Memorial Day and continue into late May, June and the rest of the 2026 outdoor market season.
