Andersonville

Charming Andersonville is known for its Swedish roots, shopping and destination dining. And it was dubbed the second "coolest neighborhood" in the world and number one in the U.S. by Time Out. Don't miss the neighborhood's first-ever outdoor Winter Market from Dec. 3-5, 2021. The open-air bazaar offers gifts, handcrafted goods and vintage treasures from local artisans. Late Night Andersonville returns on Dec. 3rd and 17th with local businesses staying open late for after-hours holiday shopping. The free holiday trolley runs both nights so you can hop on and off at eight intersections throughout the business district. Julmarknad (Dec.4 - 5) is the Swedish American Museum's annual Christmas Bazaar, featuring traditional Scandinavian and modern handicrafts, games, Santa and entertainment. Celebrate St. Lucia Day Dec. 13, 2021 with a candle-lit procession at 5:15 pm from the Museum north on Clark Street, highlighted by "Lucia Girls," singing in long white robes and sparkly crowns. Among the shops in the National Historic District are more than a few antique and vintage stores; candy shops; bookstores; lots of spots featuring clothing and accessories; furniture; music; kitchenware; and foodstuffs.
