Boston Christmas Crafts Festival

All Ages

$10/in advance, $12/at door, Free/Kids

The annual Christmas Festival at the Seaport World Trade Center features a marketplace of arts and crafts items by over 300 artists from around the country. There will also be a Gingerbread House Competition, where competing chefs will be judged by a celebrity panel, with the proceeds to benefit Housing Families. Tickets are priced at 10 bucks, but be sure to print out the 'discount' coupon to take along if you plan on paying at the door. The coupon is for $2 off your admission ticket; although the term discount is a bit of a misnomer since it will simply result in you paying $10 like everyone else (the ticket price at the door happens to be $12). It's an interesting trick by the event hosts to make you think you are getting a deal, but the coupon must be used to prevent you from paying more than everyone else. Get Tickets Online
