Boston Does Vintage

If your idea of vintage shopping is digging rather than browsing, set aside an afternoon for FOUND’s biggest Boston market yet. More than 100 vendors are taking over City Hall Plaza on September 5, giving the event enough scale to make a few hours of wandering worthwhile. The timing is smart, too: with students back in town, the market arrives just as closets are getting refreshed and summer wardrobes are still very much in play. Admission is free, so there is little reason not to stop by, even if you are only looking for one good find. The outdoor setting also makes this an easy add-on to a day around Government Center, especially with the Blue Line practically at the door. Come with patience, comfortable shoes and enough room in your tote for the piece you did not know you were looking for.
