We are excited to see the European Christmas Market returning to Union Depot in Saint Paul!
We might not be in Europe for the holidays however we can attend the European Christmas Market at the Union Depot in Saint Paul!
The smells, shopping and of course the food will have you feeling like you really are at a Holiday market in Europe. We’ve attended this fun event a few times and it really felt like we were back in Germany for the holidays.
