The Harvest Party

Written By Devon Holden

Highlights:

  • Seasonal bites and treats from the Market’s local food entrepreneurs

  • Craft libations featuring spirits from New England producers

  • Live music and festive, carnival-inspired fun (especially in editions like the 2024 “Carnival Edition”) 



The Harvest Party serves as a cornerstone fundraising event for the Boston Public Market. Proceeds help fund the Community Engagement Fund, which supports programming like:

  • Subsidized stall rents for local entrepreneurs

  • Educational experiences and outreach for the public

  • Support for minority-owned businesses

  • Community-building initiatives around food and sustainability 



A Decade of Community

This year, 2025, the event will also celebrate the Market's 10th anniversary—marking a decade as a vibrant, indoor market fostering local food systems and artisans across New England.
