SoWa Sundays is closed this weekend!

We’ll be watching the fireworks and lounging on the beach. But don’t be sad, we’ll be back July 12th.
To see what’s been going on at SoWa Sundays check out our blog and our flickr page (lots of photos!) Here are photos that other people have taken of the markets – feel free to add your own; show us your favorite photos of the Markets.

Thank you to The Doctors Fox for rocking the market last weekend!

Whoa! there’s a lot going on this weekend…

First, we’ve got Rocca doing Sunday Supper and a Movie featuring Mediterraneo, with a special Introduction by Isabella Perricone. Reservations are required for Supper and a Movie (call 617.451.9124) but this three course menu is also available in the dining room & patio for walk-in guests:

I Scallion Flatbread with fava-feta dip & carrot, olive & mint salad
II Grilled Bluefish with rock shrimp & arborio dolmades, marinated tomatoes & lemon-oregano vinaigrette
III Sweet: Loukoumades with honey and pistachios

Next we have Greenlight (Gaslight’s weekday café) opening for Sundays starting this week! They’ll be serving salads and sandwiches for those on-the-go eaters (Must. Not. Interrupt. Shopping!)

Morgan of The Second Glass will be joining us to check out this week’s vendors at the Markets, and to teach me a little about her specialty: vino!

The SoWa Antiques Market continues free “Booth Chats” at 1:00 pm every Sunday in the Antiques Barn. This week: “Don’t Throw Out The Paper” with Charles Wibel.

Finally, Boston Handmade makes a guest appearance (make that: many guest appearances) at the SoWa Open Market. 26 Artists and Crafters from this hip Boston collective will be showing their work and selling their wares! And they’re bringing musical guest The Grownup Noise for our listening pleasure.
Boston Handmade promotes local independent businesses and individuals creating one-of-a-kind and limited edition handmade works in small studio environments, not factories.
