SWEA OC Christmas Fair

SWEA’s Christmas Fair was first held in 1979. Today SWEA , Swedish Women’s Education Association, is a global non-profit organization with 6,000 members in about 70 countries across the globe and similar Christmas Fairs are held all over the world. SWEA works to promote swedish culture through scholarships and various events with a swedish theme and the Christmas Fairs are typically the largest fundraisers.

The Christmas Fair, or ”julmarknaden”, has something to offer everyone. A large selection of genuine scandinavian handicrafts – jewelry, art, toys and christmas collectibles are for sale here. A beautifully radiant Lucia pageant featuring members’ children, children from Svenska Skolan OC and other singing swedish teens performs twice, at 12:30pm and 3pm.

Traditional christmas food and pastries are available to choose from, including our home-brewed, rich mulled wine. Children can say hello to Santa and guests can also enjoy our lottery with an extensive assortment of prizes for children and adults.

The Christmas Fair is traditionally held on the third weekend in November, exact time and place as well as information on ticket purchases are announced in October.
