The Swedish Christmas Fair returns to George Brown College’s Waterfront Campus at 51 Dockside Drive, running Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Organizers say the waterfront venue offers plenty of affordable parking and is easily accessible by public transit.
One of the fair’s biggest highlights is Mathörnan, the Taste of Sweden corner, featuring fish, herring, caviar, Swedish candy and chocolate, homemade baked goods, bread, cookies, coffee, drinks, and pantry staples. It’s a chance to discover authentic Swedish flavours and stock up on traditional favourites.
The fair is organized by SWEA Toronto, a nonprofit organization, with proceeds supporting the Swedish Church, Swedish School, Swedish Folkdancers and Singers, and scholarships.
Organizers also promise new features for 2026, though details have yet to be announced. The fair traditionally features Lucia celebrations, Swedish folk dancing, crafts, and holiday shopping, with the Toronto Swedish Folkdancers & Singers confirmed to perform on both days. Specific performance times have not been announced.
The fair’s webshop offers advance ordering, with purchases available for pickup at the event only. Shipping is not available, and a flat $5 processing fee applies. Admission is free, making it an easy addition to your holiday plans.
Be sure to bring a tote bag and arrive hungry, with plenty of Swedish treats worth taking home.
