Next Sunday marks the re-opening of SoWa Open Air Market, Boston’s summertime shopping and dining mecca for vintage wear, craft, and food truck enthusiasts. The seasonal marketplace will remain open to the public every Sunday through October.
SoWa takes its name from Boston’s South of Washington district, often referred to by locals as “SoWa”.

Here, mobile chefs combine often locally grown ingredients to produce delicious international flavors bound to satisfy even the most adventurous appetites.

Boston had such a great time last year that it’s happening again: The Food Truck Throwdown. Some of our city’s top food trucks will go wheel-to-wheel with some of New York City’s most delicious mobile munchies this Saturday, May 4 on the Rose Kennedy Greenway.
Trucks were coming in as something cool to do and easier to start with. It was a great way to test out whether or not our concept would work and we are really glad we did it.
