The Shakespeare Market is a vibrant open-air marketplace located on the grounds of the former American Shakespeare Festival Theater in Stratford, Connecticut. The market is a community-driven concept born out of the tragedy of the loss of the iconic theater. The aim of the market is to bring the community together to celebrate and enjoy this beautiful property adjacent to the Housatonic River and the stunning Charles E. Wheeler Wildlife Management Area, with glorious views of the Long Island Sound. The market features a variety of local vendors offering fresh produce, artisanal crafts, and hand-made goods. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll through the market, sample delicious food, and shop for unique treasures while enjoying live entertainment and performances. Located just a short walk from historic Mac's Harbor, the original landing location of Stratford's first European settlers, Bond's Dock and Fishing Pier, and Stratford's Historic District, the Shakespeare Market is the perfect destination for a day trip filled with history, culture, and fun. Come join us and be a part of the vibrant community spirit that makes the Shakespeare Market such a special place.
