Massachusetts's holiday season opens with Creative Artisan Soy Candle-Making Meetup for the Holidays at Modest Roots in Tyngsborough on Oct 10, 2026 and runs through Dec 13, 2026. Of the 16 listed fairs, 1 is in October, 10 in November, and 5 in December. The busiest single day is Saturday, Nov 7, 2026, when 3 fairs run at once.
Bridgewater has the most holiday markets with 2. Smaller towns often have a single church or school bazaar that draws the whole area, so it is worth checking the full Massachusetts list for anything scheduled before Oct 10, 2026 or after Christmas.
