Twinking lights, decked-out carolers, enticing aromas and the warm fellowship of the Advent/Christmas season will welcome guests outside the historic Cathedral of Saint Paul during the Cathedral Christmas Market, Thursday, Dec. 12, through Saturday, Dec. 14, 2024. The Christmas markets run 5-9 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and noon to 7 p.m. Saturday
Admission to the market is free.
Marketplace tents will ring the perimeter of the Cathedral’s back courtyard, decked out with pine boughs, twinkling lights and the magnificently lit stained glass windows of the Cathedral’s
Sacristy, all set against the majestic background of the Cathedral of Saint Paul. Vendors will be selling a variety of locally made gift items, food and drinks, including beer and hot mulled wine known as Glüwein. A variety of food trucks will be parked alongside Dayton Avenue. A warming tent will offer a comfortable place to enjoy concessions or enter a raffle to win items from from local merchants. On Saturday from 1-3:30 p.m., people of all ages can play BINGO inside the tent for a chance to win sweet prizes.
