Holiday Fair"This is not your average craft fair - it's more like a party where you can buy stuff!

The Harvard Square Holiday Fair, one of the oldest and most popular fairs in Boston, will celebrate its 30th season in 2015. This year the fair moves to two new locations;

+From December 11 - 13, the fair will be at 50 Church St, 4th floor, with some vendors outside in the courtyard on the corner of Church St. & Mass. Ave.
+From December 18 - 23, the entire fair will move to the lower hall of St Paul's Church at 29 Mt Auburn St. (corner of Bow St. & Arrow St.).

The fair is juried and includes a changing mix of New England craftspeople and world travelling importers featuring many wonderful gift items. There is always a great selection of beautiful, original and affordable gifts. Talking to the craftspeople who make what they sell gives shoppers a connection to what they are buying that is just not possible at the mall, through a catalogue or online.

It's a high energy alternative marketplace with a great soundtrack, where people see old friends and make new ones - a taste of the old Harvard Square. Admission is free."
