Nordanå
On 6 December, the Christmas Market returns to Nordanå! Skellefteå Museum invites you to a day filled with crafts, activities and festive cheer for the whole family.
Since the very first market in 1975, when museum staff sold homemade bread and hand-dipped candles from a handful of stalls near Nyborg, the event has grown into one of Skellefteå's most cherished traditions. Craftspeople remain at the heart of the market, filling Nordanå with warmth, creativity and Christmas spirit.
Get into the festive spirit with music, crafts and activities for all ages. See the full programme below.
