Helsinki Christmas Market
Annual Christmas market in Helsinki
Helsinki Christmas Market (Finnish: Tuomaan Markkinat; Swedish: Tomasmarknaden; lit. 'St. Thomas Market') is a Christmas market held every year in Helsinki, Finland. It is visited by more than 300,000 people every year.[1][2][3] The event has been organized since 1994. Originally it was held in Esplanadi Park for a long time, until they moved to their current venue, the Senate Square.[1]
The opening of the Helsinki Christmas Market is always on 1 December and lasts until 22 December.[2][4][5] The event brings almost 100 artisans and small producers from all over Finland, as well as more than 20 delicacy sellers, and cafe and restaurant operators to the Senate Square.[4][6] There is also a vintage-styled carousel, which is free for market visitors.[4][7]
In November 2023, a multinational news channel CNN listed the Helsinki Christmas Market as one of the best Christmas markets in the world.[5]
