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.

About

IMG_4187.jpg

My name is Nina Wray & I am the potter behind Moon Dog Studio. My love of pottery began when I was in high school. I was lucky enough to go to a school with a solid art program & two pottery studio classrooms. I took every pottery class offered & spent many lunch hours & after school hours in the pottery classroom. I dreamt of the day I’d drive around the country, touring craft fairs, with my loyal dog in the passenger seat. Somewhere along the road my love of travel & the outdoors took over. The transient nature of my career in experiential education made it difficult to pursue my pottery interests. More than a decade later, I have circled back to my first dream job as a potter. Now I spend most days working in my studio while my loyal dog lazes happily nearby.

I love the outdoors & going on adventured into the wilderness. My previous career in experiential education allowed me to spend the better part of the last decade outside. The name moon dog comes from a rare celestial occurrence when the moon appears to have a halo encircling it or often looking like two dimples of light on either side, called a moon dog. I have been lucky enough to see moon dogs on many of my trips into the wilderness. The name was chosen to remember those long nights spent gathered around a fire, or a camping stove, enjoying some of life’s simple pleasures. I also happen to love dogs, so that doesn’t hurt.

I love the way pottery can become a part of our daily lives. It is our favorite mug, the dish we share a meal with, the planter our flowers grow in. Clay is a medium of seemingly endless possibilities. I find it inspiring to know I can continue challenging myself by trying new forms or new techniques. My current challenge: making my own glazes.
