Visit Haymarket:
As one of America’s oldest open air markets, Boston’s Harmarket is a cultural cornerstone of the city. Nestled in the heart of Boston’s historic downtown, and mere footsteps away from Faneuil Hall and the North End, Haymarket is a bustling hub for fresh fruits, vegetables, and seafood. It’s a place where you can connect with the history and culture of the city while experiencing the sights and sounds of one of America’s oldest open-air markets.
Established in 1820, Haymarket is 40 years older than the American Civil War and 92 years older than Fenway Park.
Haymarket’s tradition of selling fresh, affordable produce in Boston dates back almost 300 years. Today, the vendors continue the centuries-old tradition of providing Bostonians with fresh produce at some of the lowest prices in New England. With over 40 independent vendors, historic pubs and restaurants, and ethnic groceries, you will never leave Haymarket disappointed.
How to get to Haymarket:
Haymarket is accessible via the green and orange MBTA line.
Before you rush over to Haymarket to load up on fruits and veggies, you should note Haymarket's hours:
- Open only on Fridays and Saturdays, all year except for Christmas Day (December 25) and New Year Day (January 1); most of the small brick-and-mortar grocers located in the Blackstone building are also open on weekdays.
- No "official" hours - Open from dawn to dusk
- In reality, most vendors arrive and set up around 6am, and stay until around 6pm - sometimes later on Fridays during the summer
- If the weather is unusually bad (such as drenching rain with thunder and lightening, a howling nor'easter, pelting sleet, or a blizzard) AND if customers thin out, the vendors usually pack up earlier
