Maihaugen's Christmas Market

Maihaugen's Christmas Market, held during the first weekend of Advent, offers a chance to experience the nostalgic charm of Christmas in beautiful, historic surroundings.

The Christmas market offers Christmas shopping, Christmas-decorated houses from different eras and activities for the whole family.

Sales booths

At the Christmas Market you will find a wide selection of stalls with Norwegian craft and home craft products, local food and Christmas decorations. These are high quality products perfect to bring home. Here you can find the special Christmas gifts.

Christmas decorated houses

The unique thing about Maihaugen's Christmas market is to experience how Christmas was celebrated in the past. The lights are lit in the historic houses, where you can come in and experience Christmas as in the old days.

We recommend being here at dusk. The atmosphere when the lanterns are lit is very special.

Familiy activities

There are many fun activities for children, such as gingerbread baking, various Christmas workshops, sleigh rides, pony riding, visit the animals in the barn, candy fish ponds and nailing.

You can also experience Christmas carols, music and other types of entertainment around the museum.

In the visitor center you can see Maihaugen's Christmas tree
