Strolling shoppers came out in force despite a rainy night for the 7th Annual Buon Natale North End Holiday Shopping Stroll on Friday night, December 6th. The North End retail shops stayed open late, welcoming residents and visitors with refreshments and discounts at over 20 boutiques, galleries and design studios in the neighborhood.

Participating shops included neighborhood favorites – A Matter of Face, Acquire, Cocoanuts, Ensemble, Exhale Spa, Fairmont Battery Wharf, Heart & Sole, In-jean-ius, LIT Boutique, Luke Aaron, Lulu’s Sweet Shoppe, North Bennett St. School, Officina 189, Savas Studios, Sedurre, Shake the Tree, Sol Optics, Twilight & The Wine Bottega.
