8th Annual MN Christmas Market at historic Erickson Farmstead

XXXX, Minn. - Nov. 3, 2023 - PRLog -- Erickson Farmstead in Isanti is the host for the 2023 MN Christmas Market, Sat. Nov. 11th from 10a-4p.

The MN Christmas Market is a pop-up holiday shopping event that showcases homegrown brands, artisans, creators and makers, with a charitable twist. All craftspeople donate 7% of their sales to Santa's College Fund via local Minnesota charity, The Urban Village.

Santa's College Fund is a scholarship that exists to remove financial barriers to higher education faced by many of our refugee neighbors living right here in Minnesota. This year is extra special as our first 5 scholarship recipients through Santa's College Fund are in their freshman year of college.

The fee to get in is just $1 cash at the door.  A VIP Experience is also available and participants will receive a MN Christmas Market branded mug with beverage, and discounts and perks with vendors from each market.

Our North Pole communications sponsor, T-Mobile, will be on hand collecting letters to Santa! So, bring your letter and drop in their mailbox or stop by and write a postcard.

Concessions from Emiliani Coffee and The Salsa Collaborative, and musical entertainment by DGS - a Minneapolis-based five-string violinist.
