The Return of the Farmers Market

The South Boston Farmers Market operates on Mondays from 11 a.m.-5 p.m., at 446 West Broadway, June through October. Opening Day is Monday, June 2, 2025! Riverdale Farm is back this year, bringing Massachusetts-grown produce to South Boston from their 200-acre Groton farm. The farm’s hothouse operations allow market shoppers to enjoy locally-grown, ripe tomatoes and bell peppers as early as June – much earlier than is typically possible in New England! And Capo Restaurant’s Executive Pastry Chef Marissa Hart will be back with her bread and pastries!

New to the Neighborhood: The Essex

South Boston has a new culinary hotspot: The Essex, now open at 6 West Broadway inside the Cambria Hotel.
