Black History Month Marketplace Pop-up

The Cambridge-Somerville Black Business Network (CSBBN) is partnering with the Sustainable Business Network of Massachusetts and Cambridge Local First, for our “Show Your Love for Black-Owned Business,“ a Black History Month Marketplace Pop-Up to be held February 6 and 7, 2026. The Marketplace event will highlight, celebrate and promote local Black-owned businesses in advance of Valentine’s Day. Sixteen vendors will offer unique gift items for purchases, soaps, sauces, bags, jewelry, vintage clothing, body care, fragrances, and more. The majority of products are hand made and locally produced by these local businesses.

This event is more than just shopping. It's an opportunity to connect with passionate business owners, hear their inspiring stories, and support their dreams. By attending, you become part of a movement that uplifts and elevates black-owned businesses in our community. The event is free to attend. We can't wait to see you there! The shopping event is organized in collaboration with support from Beacon Capital Partners, City of Cambridge, Eastern Bank, and Harvard Square Business Association.
