Holiday Markets Around Boston 2026: Dates and Food
8 holiday markets in and around Boston with 2026 dates, in order, with admission where it is posted.
Photo: Epicgenius / Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0Some of these are free to walk through, some charge at the door, and several run one day only. Where a market has not posted a price, the entry says so. Plymouth is about an hour south of Boston, Cohasset is on the South Shore and Worcester is in central Massachusetts, on the Framingham/Worcester commuter rail line. Plymouth, Worcester, Cohasset and Salem are run by New England Open Markets; its Visit the Holiday Markets page has visitor details for all four.
