$1 cash to get in. The MN Christmas Market is an annual pop-up holiday market that showcases homegrown brands, artisans, creators and makers, with a charitable twist. All of our vendors donate 7% of sales from the event to a local charity that fights for kids in Minnesota. The charity for the coming years is Santa's College Fund, a scholarship that exists to remove financial barriers to higher education faced by many of our refugee neighbors living right here in Minnesota, through 4-year scholarships.
