Our Story
The Watertown Arts Market is the marquee event of the Watertown Business Coalition and was first held in 2021 to strengthen the local creative economy by connecting Watertown’s working artists directly with the public. The City of Watertown became an official partner in 2023, helping to foster the continued growth of this beloved event.
Now in its sixth year, the Watertown Arts Market is a cornerstone of the city’s summer season, offering a platform for local creators to showcase their work to thousands of visitors. This free, family-friendly event features a diverse array of artist booths, live musical performances, interactive art-making stations, and local food vendors.
This event is organized by a dedicated committee of local volunteers in close collaboration with the WBC leadership team and the City of Watertown.
