About event
Step into an Old World Nordic Christmas Market
For over 40 years, ScanFair has brought the magic of an old-world Nordic Christmas market to Portland. We invite you to experience the warmth, wonder, and timeless traditions that make it so special.
Wander through the bustling marketplace filled with unique artisan vendors offering hand-crafted gifts, holiday décor, and one-of-a-kind treasures inspired by Nordic traditions. Savor the flavors of Scandinavia with food and drink that transport you straight to the holiday tables of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Enjoy everything from savory dishes and baked treats to mulled drinks and festive sweets.
Enjoy live entertainment that captures the spirit of Nordic heritage, with performances featuring music, dance, and storytelling. Families can delight in traditional games, craft-making, and kid-friendly activities that bring the season to life for all ages. And throughout the market, you’ll find opportunities to connect with local community organizations that celebrate and preserve Nordic culture.
Whether you come for the shopping, the food, the music, or simply the joy of gathering with friends and family and enjoying the culture, ScanFair offers a holiday experience unlike any other: a festive celebration where the sights, sounds, and tastes of an old-world Nordic Christmas come alive in the heart of Portland.
