Just $1 cash or Venmo to get in! The MN Christmas Market is an annual pop-up holiday market that showcases homegrown brands, artisans, creators and makers, with a twist.

We are celebrating 11 years in 2026! Since 2016, the MN Christmas Market has existed to be a platform for locals to support small businesses.

In 2026, 5% of all sales at our markets are being invested into the "Small Business Spark Fund." At each market, each shopper/attendee will be given a ticket to "vote" for their favorite vendor. At the end of the market, the vendor with the most tickets/votes, will be the recipient of the Small Business Spark Fund (SBSF). The SBSF consists of no-strings attached investments in them and their business in 3 simple ways:

1. Return: Their vendor fee for the following year is covered!
2. Rest: We cover the cost of a 3-night stay in Grand Marais for them to re-charge and take a breather.
3. Re-Invest: We cover the cost of some custom merch, consulting, AND a cash prize.

These small businesses are the heartbeat of our state and communities. We want to use our markets to fill their buckets back up, in more ways than one, and urge them to keep on keeping on!

Every dollar you're spending says something about the world of tomorrow.

What message will your spending tell? How might our world look if communities came together to prioritize their very own small businesses before sending their money off to Amazon or overseas manufacturers?

If you're a lover of the MN maker community, please support us by stopping by. 

Thanks so much for all of your support in our mission to fight for small businesses.

Twin Cities Print and StormSister Spatique are the hosts of these holiday markets - featuring entertainment and shopping with some of the most talented makers of MN.
