As another successful season of the Sowa Open Market draws to a close, we will be holding our annual “Market of the Living Dead” on October 26th, 2008. In keeping with tradition, we will hold our Vendor Costume Contest and the Pumpkin Carving Contest, as well as fun games, music, and lots of great prizes being given out during the Market.
The Vendor Costume Contest is now in it’s fifth year, and we will be keeping up our reputation as being the most horrifying zombies / artisans on Harrison Ave. Participation is mandatory for all vendors, and we highly encourage shoppers to come dressed up as well – because if you don’t come as a zombie, we guarantee you’ll leave as one.
The Pumpkin Carving Contest has also returned for its fifth season. Shoppers can bring their own pumpkin or buy one at the Market and carve a creepy Jack-O-Lantern, which will be displayed during the market and judged by shoppers for a chance to win up to $100 to be spent at the Market. Throughout the day, we will be having fun treats for kids, candy, and prizes given out to shoppers at the Market.

As always, the market will offer the usual ever-changing group of artisans, free admission, a hip convenient location and plenty of parking. We give Boston a unique center to network while shopping for healthy edibles, fragrant blooms, DIY crafts and designer wares from established artisans including jewelry, handbags, accessories, sculpture, and clothing along with affordable mid-century modern furniture, antiques and collectibles It's definitely a trip worth making before we close for the season.
I was able to make it to the last SOWA Open Market on the 26th and it was amazing! The weather was gorgeous and the vendors' costumes were creepy!
