Kipinästä Liekki – From Spark to Flame! |
This beloved annual event, which has been running for over 50 years, takes place on the Saturday before Thanksgiving and offers visitors a chance to experience the magic of Christmas while shopping for unique gifts from the Land of Santa Claus. You can also catch up with old friends and make new ones while enjoying coffee or hot glogg with gingerbread or pulla at the Christmas Cafe. Best of all, the funds raised at the bazaar provide grants to educational and cultural institutions in Finland and the U.S.
The 2024 Finnish Christmas Bazaar has already been held, but don't worry—the tradition continues! We look forward to seeing you at this year’s event in November 2025, so stay tuned for details.
We're always looking for donations to help make the bazaar successful, including vintage Finnish glassware, dishes, wall hangings, jewelry, and artwork. We can even arrange to pick up your items, just let us know at finnspark1949@gmail.com.
Take advantage of this excellent opportunity to check some gifts off your list and stock up on Finnish treats, Christmas decorations, arts & crafts, and books for the holiday.
We can't wait to welcome you to our next Finnish Christmas Bazaar!
