Helsinki Christmas Market 2026

Helsinki Christmas Market is the oldest outdoor Christmas market in Helsinki. Visiting the Market has become a tradition for many, and over 300,000 people visit the Christmas Market each year. The event is produced by Helsinki Events Foundation (eventshelsinki.fi ↗). The Market offers delicious eating experiences and unique gifts sold by the craftsmen and women themselves as well as a beautiful, warm and relaxed Christmas atmosphere. The heart of the Market is a beloved old-time carousel and a fully-licensed food court that invites you to enjoy and savour all the flavours of Christmas. This year, the event will also feature a brand-new Christmas experience: visitors can enjoy a sauna right in the atmosphere of the Christmas Market, surrounded by the northern winter darkness and the city's Christmas lights. This unique sauna experience introduces Finnish sauna culture to the Market in a whole new setting, offering guests an extraordinary opportunity to unwind amidst the holiday rush. Opening times 2026: Senaatintori 27.11.–22.12. Mon–Thu and Sun 11–19 / Fri–Sat 11–20
