'Tis the season for the 6th annual SoWa Winter Festival, voted "Best of Boston."
If Boston was a person, SoWa would be its creative side. Its independent streak. Its curiosity. Because here imagination has created a corner of the city filled with the eclectic and the unexpected. Where one-of-a-kind galleries, showrooms and boutiques are run by one-of-a-kind people. Where designers innovate and makers make. People don’t just visit SoWa. They live it. They taste it. They experience it. Explore your creative side. Explore SoWa.
Their largest event of the year is taking place across three festival locations and 10 days of winter wonderland magic, December 3-12, 2021. They're back, bigger and better than ever. You're not going to want to miss Boston's best Winter Festival.
SOWA POWER STATION: 540 Harrison Avenue (*indoors - masks required)
Enter through a fresh pine tree forest, where you will find 105 local art & food vendors for the ultimate artisan shopping experience. Nosh on grab-and-go French inspired cuisine like savory/sweet crepes and hearty stews at the Brasserie Cafe Counter. Sip winter cocktails in our eclectic Artist Loft Lounge, located on the swanky mezzanine level of the Power Station. Pure designer bliss.
OUTDOOR WINTER WONDERLAND: 500 Harrison Avenue (*heated tent for beer garden seating)
Journey from the Power Station to our outdoor food & drink lot, guided by a Trail of Light. Grab a bite from some of Boston's best food trucks. Wash it down with a beer from the Jack's Abby Beer Garden. Cozy up around a fire pit (*first come first serve, weather permitting). Stroll down Thayer Street, a pedestrian only walkway, lined with lights and holiday window displays. Pop in and out of studios, showrooms, galleries and shops on either side of the street. Warm your bones at the hot chocolate hut, then visit the wine and candy trucks for an extra treat.
