American Field returns home to Boston for the fourth annual year this September. The event hosts the best in American-made clothing, accessories, and food.
Mark Bollman, entrepreneur and founder of Ball and Buck, established the pop-up market in 2012 with a mission to spotlight quality American brands and to connect the consumer directly with the visionaries behind them. In 2014, Bollman partnered with leading real estate management and investment firm, Jamestown, and brought the event to Boston’s Innovation and Design Building, where it will find its home again this fall.
The IDB is known as an incubator for showcasing legacy projects in the manufacturing industry. It is home to traditional manufacturers, as well as new economy manufacturers, who are making and creating goods right on site.
American Field offers consumers a distinctive shopping experience connecting them directly with founders and craftspeople. Only at the event can mindful shoppers be outfitted from head to toe, literally, in Made in USA clothing while taste-testing local food and beverages. Participating brands include Ball and Buck, Narragansett, Randolph Eyewear, Rancourt Co., Bailey Hats, and General Knot among many more. Vendors will provide unique, interactive product experiences and activations on site.
“As the birthplace of both America and American Field, Boston is a city rich in revolutionary and manufacturing history. To this day, Boston continues to serve as a leading hub for innovation and creativity, which makes it such an important home base for American Field,” says Mark Bollman
American Field will be held at the Innovation and Design Building, 25 Dry Dock Avenue, 2nd Floor; Saturday, September 12 - Sunday, September 13 from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Sponsors include Ball and Buck. www.americanfield.us
