This holiday market was created after the downtown Dayton's store was closed permanently.  The building was so nice, that no one wanted to either leave it abandoned or tear it down.  The idea was to preserve the history of the building and put something new into it.

The Dayton's Holiday Market was created.

The market will be open from today, November 14th through December 28th.  Luckily, they are open everyday during those times except for Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

The Hours:

• Monday-Saturday: 10am – 6pm
• Sunday: 11am – 5pm
• Closed Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day

If you are unfamiliar with that the Dayton's Holiday Market is, here is a great description.

“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.”

There will be about 100 vendors throughout the market to check out and do your holiday shopping, either for others or yourself.  No judgement.  Shopping for yourself and getting great deals because of the holidays is totally acceptable. Why not?

You can follow them for more information on vendors, products, sales, etc on their Facebook page.  There is also an annual Black Friday Santa Bear release that you won't want to miss.  Remember Santa Bears?  I still have one from 1986.  Love it.
