Based in Belmont, The Blue Butterfly is coming to Watertown for one week only, and will be setting up shop in the space next to Ben & Jerry’s at Arsenal Yards from 12noon to 7pm on Friday, December 18^th through the 23rd.

In addition, Arsenal Yards will also be offering a chance to win one of Blue Butterfly’s most popular item, the Illuminated Microphone. This handmade piece is created by artist Dr. Kent White, who is known for his distinctive form of Illuminology. Every guest that visits the Blue Butterfly pop-up will be able to scan the QR code to enter to win this Illuminated Object (a $118 value). One winner will be selected on the 23^rd.

Before or after they shop, visitors are invited to swing by some of Arsenal Yards’ restaurants for a bite or drink, including City Works, Pepe’s, Garbanzo, Shake Shack or Chipotle – and grab a sweet treat from Ben & Jerry’s to officially kick off the holiday.

The pop-up shop is located next to Ben & Jerry’s. Parking is available in the surface parking lot, near City Works.
