ASI’s Julmarknad is a 3-day Scandinavian marketplace featuring 60 artisans, pop-up musical performances, family crafts, story time, and festival foods.

The sights and sounds of a Scandinavian marketplace come to ASI during the first weekend in December at one of the region’s largest handcraft markets and festivals. Shop ASI’s own Jul Shop, alongside distinctive artisan glass, home goods, hand-carved items, jewelry, ceramics, and textiles from over 60 artisans.

ASI’s Julmarknad is one of the busiest and most magical weekends of the year. Join us Friday night for a special preview party and first pick of shopping, or attend Sunday for the full festival experience. On Sunday, extra family-friendly activities are paired with special pricing: buy one adult ticket, get one youth ticket free.

Guests also receive admission to ASI’s acclaimed, magical holiday exhibition. View the full event details. Advanced registration required.

Julmarknad is presented with support from media partner, Minnesota Public Radio.
