The Boston Christmas Festival is the largest craft festival in New England bringing together over 300 American Craftsmen from around the United States. The Farmers’ Market, a new addition to the Festival this year, pays tasty tribute to small batch producers of gourmet goodies, perfect for entertaining, stocking stuffers, or hostess gifts. 

The highlight of the festival is the annual Gingerbread House Competition where pastry chefs and gingerbread bakers compete in building massive gingerbread house masterpieces. The houses are then sold to benefit Housing Families Inc., an organization dedicated to ending family homelessness.
