Holidays at Mei Mei

Written By Mei Mei

As we celebrate our second holiday season in our new home in Southie, we’ve dreamed up a few new ways for you to join the party! Read on to learn more about our first ever BIPOC Holiday Market, our brand new Factory Mini-Tours, and all the ways to give the gift of Mei Mei to the people you love most.

BIPOC Holiday Market at the Dumpling Factory

Your dollar goes farther when you spend it with small, local, diverse businesses.

So we’re pleased to announce that on December 7 and 8 from 12-6pm, we’ll be hosting a BIPOC Holiday Market featuring vendors and products from businesses that are Black, Indigenous, Latine and Asian, all in our beloved South Boston! Get all your holiday shopping done, from stocking stuffers to showstoppers, and support local and BIPOC-owned businesses while you’re at it. We’ll have samples while supplies last, free hot drinks, and our cafe menu available, too!

Confirmed vendors include:

We’ll also be featuring Hillside Harvest’s hot sauces and marinades, A Jar of Pickles’ toys and greeting cards, Fresh Zen’s ginger scallion pestos, Just Book-ish merch and selected books, Emerald City Plant Shop gifts and apparel and more!
