Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Arrive early on Friday or Saturday to experience the market with fewer crowds and have the best selection from vendors.
- Dress warmly in layers, as many vendors are outdoors, and the Botanical Garden can be chilly in late November.
- Bring cash for smaller vendors, as not all may accept card payments, ensuring you don't miss out on unique handmade items.
- Check the schedule for ensemblen Lydia's performance on Sunday and the specific times for the Santa Claus walk to plan your visit.
- Take advantage of the food and drink options, such as burnt almonds and waffles, to stay energized while exploring the market.
