Location Details:
We are excited to introduce a new partnership with BXP to bring Boston Women’s Market to the newly refinished Kendall Square Plaza! The Plaza is directly next to the Kendall T Station and surrounded by shops, restaurants, hotels and the Urban Rooftop Garden.
The Market will be held on Thursday evenings in conjunction with the Lamplighter Summer Beer Garden.
Vendors will be responsible for paying for their own long-term parking at neighborhood garages
The closest garage is the Kendall Green Garage (~$42)
We always recommend checking out SpotHero to pre-buy your parking, which saves some money.
Bathrooms can be found inside nearby restaurants & cafes, and at the Urban Rooftop Garden adjacent to the Market

Why are we now charging a 18% fee?
As you can imagine, a great deal of time, effort and money has already been spent well in advance of knowing we will need to cancel an event due to weather. Each time we have to cancel an event, BWM loses hundreds (sometimes thousands) of dollars that has already been spent on advertising and labor. Additionally, we have to re-do all our labor and marketing to re-advertise an event if it is moved to a new date. In order to help plug this large leak and keep us financially stable, we have decided to implement this new policy. This is not a decision that we have taken lightly. We personally know how important every dollar is to a small business. We hope you can understand why we have to implement this new policy.
This Bad Weather policy will apply to:
Events that have been cancelled and no rescheduled date can be established
If an event has been rescheduled to a new date, and you cannot participate in the new date
