Julmarknad is Swedish for Christmas market, and this one is run by the Swedish Cultural Society. Expect traditional Swedish goods and gifts for the home and the holidays, a Swedish café, glögg (Swedish mulled wine) and hot dogs. If your family tree has a few Scandinavian branches, or you just like your Christmas with a bit of tradition, it’s a weekend to mark down.
The 2026 market is Saturday, November 21 and Sunday, November 22, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
