The Dayton’s Fourth-Annual Holiday Market

The Dayton’s Holiday Market opens this week with vendors, food, and a tribute to MN sports

More than 100 vendors will participate in this year’s market at 700 Nicollet Mall, bringing holiday shopping back to the place where, well, holiday shopping used to happen.

It’s a welcome addition for the iconic building after it was revealed in October that the Dayton’s Project went into receivership.

“Dayton’s Holiday Market has always been about bringing joy and a sense of nostalgia back to this cherished Minneapolis landmark,” Dayton’s Holiday Market Curator Mich Berthiaume says. “With beloved traditions and exciting new attractions and vendors, we’re thrilled to offer visitors an unforgettable experience that celebrates both the magic of the holiday season and the community spirit of Downtown Minneapolis.”

The Holiday Market runs through December 28th. Beyond its deluge of local vendors, the burgeoning holiday tradition will have special events taking place throughout its nearly two-month span.

New events for the 2024 edition include the launch of a Minnesota Sports Hall of Fame Experience on the building’s lower level, opening on Nov. 29. The free display will walk through highlights in Minnesota sports, which probably doesn’t include a shrine to fans who continue to support men’s teams despite, well, you know.

Chef Kamal Mohamed — whose StepChld was recently featured on Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives — will bring back the Dayton’s Oak Grill Wild Rice Soup as well. It’s served with bread and pastries from the chef’s Parcelle café and will be available at Giftable Local Food Market, which features 27 local food vendors.

The North Loop menswear staple, MartinPatrick3, is designing the holiday window displays for the Dayton’s Project. The gingerbread-inspired display, titled “Land of 10,000 Sweets,” will be on display throughout the market’s season.
