the full scoop

Iron Works is rooted in the industrial ‘can-do’ spirit of South Boston’s past — a concept they pay homage to in everything they do. With this spirit in mind, C Street Pop-Up @ Iron Works is committed to creating a dynamic and holistic experience.

C Street Pop-Up pillars include:

  • A sustainable ethos | infrastructure built from recycled plastic bottles and other sustainable materials; brands encouraged to source and operate with a goal of carbon neutrality

  • A commitment to DEI | pop-up brands to be selected with a focus on diversity, equity + inclusivity

  • A local experience | operators will be locally/independently-owned businesses

Lawn games, public art and programming will further enhance the onsite experience—creating a place for friends to get together and neighbors to meet, shop and socialize outside—while enjoying all the benefits of Iron Works.
