Holidazzle
Bundle up and get ready for the most anticipated holiday festival in Minneapolis! Holidazzle is on Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis (December 18-22, 2024) and offers local goods, delicious food and brightly lit decorations to make it the official start of the holiday season.
Walk around the Holidazzle village and get some of your holiday shopping done. Explore locally made items including mittens, hats and scarves, beautiful jewelry, intricate ornaments, Minnesota-inspired wood art and so much more.
Once you’re done checking off your gift list (or getting a few items to treat yourself), refuel with local specialty food items. Try hot apple cider, eggrolls, cheese curds, coffee, mini donuts, pierogis and more. Head into the beer tent to warm up and grab a Fulton craft brew.
To really celebrate the winter season, check out some of the other outdoor events Holidazzle offers. On the schedule are things like live music, minne-golf, excerpts from the Nutcracker, a silent disco and more. Stick around for the fireworks on select weekends. And of course, get the opportunity to meet Santa Claus. Take photos, share your wish list, and watch your little ones light up with joy.
New this year is a festive Peppermint Pub Crawl! Vsit a dozen local bars and restaurants, each serving up festive libations to warm your holiday spirit!
