You won't leave hungry with vendors offering oatcakes, truffles, caramels, maple syrup, fortune cookies, elephant cookies, and lava cakes.
Where & when
The festival used to be held every November at Seaport World Trade Center in Boston until 2020, when the event was transformed into an experimental online market due to the pandemic. The 2021 and 2022 editions took place at Mohegan Sun, Uncasville, Connecticut. The new location is around 100 miles (160 km) southwest of Boston.
