Buckle up, the holidays are coming!  Boston Seaport just announced the return of Snowport!  You can read all the details below! 

Boston Seaport by WS brings the holiday spirit early, announcing Boston’s beloved holiday tradition, the Snowport Holiday Market Presented by Constant Contact, will return on Friday, November 7 for its fifth magical season. This year, the Holiday Market will showcase over 130 local small businesses, many of which are minority and/or female-founded. With over one-third of the makers from Boston, and many more from across Massachusetts and New England, this market proudly champions local entrepreneurs, makers, and craft and independent businesses. The Snowport Holiday Market will continue to feature immersive programming and fan-favorite activities, offering an unforgettable holiday experience and spreading festive cheer throughout the season.

Constant Contact, the leading provider of digital marketing tools for small businesses and nonprofits, will return as presenting sponsor for the fourth year, continuing its mission to help small businesses grow, connect with their communities, and thrive during the busiest shopping season of the year.

Also returning for this year’s market is the Snowport Scholarship Program, a joint initiative between Constant Contact and Boston Seaport by WS designed to elevate underserved entrepreneurs. With Constant Contact’s support, 12 small businesses will receive financial support, expert-led marketing education, and cutting-edge marketing capabilities through Constant Contact Premium. Recipients also benefit from one-on-one coaching from Constant Contact’s marketing advisors to help them attract new holiday shoppers, boost engagement during the Holiday Market, and keep customers coming back for more in the new year. To be eligible for the scholarship, businesses must be at least 50% BIPOC-owned, have a social give-back component, or support a traditional handicraft.

“Small businesses power our economy, our daily lives, and our communities, and for many of them, the holiday season isn’t just busy, it is critical to their success,” said Smita Wadhawan, chief marketing officer at Constant Contact. “We are proud to support the small businesses here in Boston through initiatives like the Snowport Scholarship Program, empowering them with new opportunities to showcase their passions and build lasting momentum. Through our partnership with the Boston Seaport team, we’re not only giving these businesses a platform to sell, we are also equipping them with the marketing tools, coaching, and confidence they need to thrive.”

The following 12 businesses have been selected as Snowport Scholarship recipients:

• African Authentics
• Clarke’s Cakes & Cookies
• Creation Jute 
• Element Oasis
• Gp Organics Soulcare
• Equals Me
• More Than Words

In addition to an impressive line-up of makers, the Snowport Holiday Market will feature several new and returning experiences such as the Winter Wish Wall by Mass General Brigham Health Plan, The Warming Tent by JetBlue, The Stage by Mohegan Sun, The Crafting Corner by The LEGO Group, and Presents Place. Seaport as a neighborhood transforms during the winter months into Snowport, a winter wonderland filled with unique gifts, games, art, food, shopping, and community events like the annual Light Up Seaport tree lighting, happening December 5, 2025 at 6pm.
