Shop Local With Your Crew
Snowport isn't your typical holiday market. It's the kind of place where you wander with friends, split a snack, and find a gift (or a treat for yourself) that you won't see anywhere else.
🛍️ 130+ Local Makers & Small Businesses
Expect clothing, jewelry, home goods, prints, original art, toys, and food gifts, all from small shops and makers rather than big chains.
About 61% of vendors are based in New England, and many new businesses are joining the market for the first time this year.
🍽️ Food & Drink
Snowport features 17 local food and beverage vendors, making it easy to turn your shopping trip into a full night out.
Returning favorites include Naughty Waffle, Dumpling Daughter, and Soup Shack, while newcomers like Island Creek are serving hot lobster rolls and other seafood specialties.
Snowport Bars: Four Themed Cocktail Spots
Yes, there are four bars. Every one has its own theme and signature holiday drink, so you can hop from one to the next without ever leaving the market.
🍹 The Jingle Bar
Covered in hundreds of jingling bells, this festive bar fully embraces the sounds and spirit of the holiday season.
🎲 The Dizzy Dreidel
Bright blue décor, playful dreidels, and seasonal cocktails make this one of Snowport's most unique holiday stops.
🍸 Betty's Bar
Named after Snowport's beloved mascot, this cozy spot serves festive drinks in a fun holiday atmosphere.
❄️ The Blizzard Bar
Snow flurries fall here no matter what the weather is doing outside, creating a true winter wonderland experience.
Split up with your friends, order different drinks, and compare favorites as you work your way around all four bars.
More to Do at Snowport
There's more going on than shopping and drinks. These spots are worth a stop with your crew:
- 📸 Presents Place: A wall of giant, brightly wrapped presents featuring a photo booth that emails your pictures directly to you. It's the easiest group photo of the night.
- 🌿 The Mistletoe Arch: The market's favorite meeting spot, complete with mistletoe overhead and plenty of photo opportunities.
- 💬 Winter Wish Wall: A massive chalkboard where visitors can write holiday wishes, memories, and messages for the season.
- 🔥 The Warming Tent: A heated tent with beer-garden-style seating, perfect for taking a break from the cold while enjoying a drink.
- 🧱 The Creativity Corner: Drop in for hands-on activities including snow globe making, ornament decorating, and seasonal crafts for both kids and adults. Tuesdays include a free make-and-take snowman kit. You can also build a LEGO heart, share a photo with #BuildToGive, and help provide LEGO sets to children in need.
