CLOSED FOR LABOR DAY WEEKEND!!!

Sorry everyone, but we won’t be here this coming Sunday, September 6th.
But, we’ll be back on September 13th with music and food and shopping!

We always look forward to the fall markets, and the South End Open Studios will be here before you know it. 250 Artists (give or take…) will be joining us on September 19th and 20th for the largest Open Studios in New England. Below is your official Save-the-Date:

Music Schedule Update:

Hey there everyone! Effective this week, the SoWa Food & Produce is shifting its hours slightly… it will now be running every Sunday 10am to 4pm. And speaking of “every Sunday” don’t forget that we’re closed for Labor Day weekend. We will not be here on September 6th. We hope to be soaking in the last rays of the summer sun next to a grill filled with burgers and a cooler of hefeweizens with little lemon wedges.

ANYWAY, we’re moving the music around a little. Arlene Wow! will be playing from 11 to 1 at the SoWa Food & Produce Market (500 Harrison) followed immediately by Glenn Williams from 1 to 3. Amy Black and the Red Clay Rascals will be at 540 Harrison with the SoWa Open Market from 12 to 2.

And because I know you like looking at pretty pictures a whole lot:

Photos of the SoWa Antiques Market were taken by Joseph Webb, who took these shots for the Boston Magazine online Party Pics Gallery. To see more great photos click here.

Watch out for hurricanes!

It will be a small group of us on our first day at the SoWa Import Market, but you should definitely stop by to see the unique, handmade goods brought in from around the globe. We’ll be at the end of Thayer Street (450 Harrison Avenue) right next to the Free Parking! On your way down Harrison check out Diseno, a store specializing in design and handmade items from Argentina. On Thayer Street, there’s Mohr & McPherson who import the most amazing pieces of furniture from around the world (I’m still waiting for someone to pick up the loveseat carved from a tree root) and you can peek in the window of Meichi Peng (Asian goods). Galeria Cubana imports gorgeous and colorful contemporary art from Cuban artists and Tour de France offers all things french, old and new, big and small, useful and purely decorative.

This week, the SoWa Sundays Music Series has Instrument starting at 12pm at the SoWa Open Market, followed by Jess Ross at 2pm. The SoWa Food & Produce Market welcomes Sarah Pray from 2 to 4 and Carmen Spada will join the SoWa Import Market at 1pm in the lot at the end of Thayer Street. Gotta love free live music!!! check out our ReverbNation page for the full 2009 artist listing.

And, if you didn’t catch them last weekend, Harvard Bookstore now has a booth at the Food & Produce Market alongside Boomerangs, the Aids Action Committee shop specializing in new and vintage clothing, accessories and home goods.

If there is a hurricane, we will be closed on Sunday. Check back here before you come over to see if we’re open!

Harvard Bookstore is going to have book stalls this week at the Food & Produce (and Books) Market. Come down and browse the shelves with a box of strawberries from Russo’s in one hand and a shrimp skewer from the Rocca grill in the other.

And we’ve got musical guests Tokyo Tramps and The Doctors Fox!
