The holidays can be a wonderful time of year, but for many families and autistic individuals, finding meaningful gifts, discovering helpful resources and navigating the season can also feel overwhelming. That’s why we bring our community together each year for the Holiday Bazaar & Resource Fair.

The day is designed with autistic individuals and their families at its heart: a welcoming, inclusive space with service providers, community resources, local makers and organizations from across southeastern Massachusetts.

Come to discover local resources and supports, shop for unique, locally made gifts, find ideas for meaningful gifts for autistic family members and the caregivers in your life, and meet other families in the autism community. Every visit also supports CAR’s programs and services.

Admission is free and open to everyone, from any town. Vendors register through our Givebutter page.

Getting there: We’re in the Governor’s Ballroom. Everyone, vendors included, parks in the back lot and comes in through the back conference door; the hotel’s front doors are not open for events. Outside food and drinks aren’t permitted in the conference center.
