[ARCHIVED] Shop Local! Tax Free Weekend is Aug. 12-13

shop local

Support Wellesley businesses and shop local during this year's tax-free weekend.  

The 2023 State Tax Holiday is Saturday, August 12 and Sunday, August 13. During these two days, eligible retail items up to $2,500 that are purchased for personal use will be exempt from Massachusetts sales tax. Read the Sales Tax Holiday Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to learn more. 

Need a new appliance, buying furniture, shopping for school or college supplies? Visit local stores in Wellesley Square, Linden Square, along Washington Street and Route 9. Shopping in town helps support our independent business community and strengthens Wellesley's economy. 

Shop online this weekend and all eligible items you purchase will be tax-free both days, even if items are delivered after the holiday ends. 

Shoppers can also enjoy music, activities and kids' events that regularly take place in Wellesley commercial areas.
