Event Details

Christmas time is almost here – come enjoy a taste of Baltic holiday traditions at the San Francisco Baltic Christmas Fair, and support our local communities! Free admission to the marketplace all day. Hot food and drink available.

• Makers, sellers, and artisans from the local Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian communities offer a variety of gifts for the people on your list. Whether modern, traditional, or folk-inspired — you will find it among the jams and preserves, organic skincare from Estonia, Baltic-style breads and baked goods, Baltic amber, locally produced honey, beach glass jewelry, handmade cards and prints, handmade dolls and stuffed animals, tree ornaments and other holiday decor, embroidered textiles and clothing, table linens, rugs, handmade bags, wool socks and other handmade accessories, precious and semi-precious gemstone jewelry, Baltic books and CDs, handbuilt ceramics, and Christmas chocolates, handmade soaps, wax melts, room fragrances, and bath soaks. And maybe a surprise or two!

• Activities: Enjoy a choir performance from the San Francisco Estonian Choir at 11:00 AM! Kids of all ages, meet and take pictures with Santa. A raffle with free entry for all attendees will be held throughout the day.

• Masks are welcome, especially in the marketplace area. If you are experiencing COVID or flu symptoms, please stay home to recover. Let’s all look out for our community, and have a successful and safe event. No pets please (service animals excepted).

• Coming by public transit? The Latvian Hall is accessible via the MUNI 48 line, which runs frequently on the weekend and has a stop very near the Latvian Hall (Clipper & Douglass). Parking can be a challenge in the area — carpooling is encouraged.

The Baltic Christmas Fair is a joint event by the San Francisco Estonian Society, Northern California Latvian Association, and the San Francisco Lithuanian-American Community. Fair proceeds support Baltic community activities in the Bay Area.

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
