European Christmas Market at Union Depot

The 2nd Annual European Christmas Market in St. Paul moves from West 7th Place to Union Depot this year for a two-weekend event. The market is based on the traditional, charming, and festive open air Christkindlmarkts that spring up in Germany, Austria, and other countries during the Advent season. Shop for unique, handmade holiday gifts and decorations from local vendors, drink Glühwein (spiced mulled wine), and taste European-inspired food and delicacies.

This FREE family friendly event will be the place to shop for unique, handmade holiday gifts and decorations from local vendors and taste European inspired food and delicacies the first two weekends of December. Come experience our new European Christmas Market, along with all of our #HubForTheHolidays events.

Bring new or gently used mittens, scarves, hats and boots to Union Depot Dec. 4 – 6. Donations to benefit the Hallie Q. Brown Community Center Clothing Closet will be accepted during the European Christmas Market.
