About this event
SWEA Atlanta holds its traditional Swedish Christmas Market, the Julmarknad, at the Dorothy Benson Center in Sandy Springs on Saturday, December 5, from 10:30 am to 3 pm. Vendor tables sell Swedish crafts and gifts, home-baked goods, chocolates and candy.
The Lucia procession is at 12 noon and again at 2 pm. The café serves Swedish Christmas food and drinks, there is a waffle table with jam and whipped cream, and a hot dog stand. The Swedish School of Atlanta runs children's activities, and SWEA Atlanta says Santa will be there.
Parent tip: Plan around a Lucia procession: arrive by 11:30 am for the noon one, or after lunch for the 2 pm one. Kids get in free, so the only cost for a parent is $5 plus waffles.
