Looking for a festive Christmas shopping experience? Look no further than the AWC's 5th annual, distinctively American Christmas market. From handmade knitted products and funky cloth bags to beautiful Christmas ornaments and silver jewelry, you’ll be able to find something for everyone on your Christmas gifts list. We will also be selling used books (in English)! There is NO ENTRY FEE.

DATES + TIMES
Saturday, 16 Nov 2019 from 10-16
Sunday, 17 Nov 2019 from 12.30-16

HOW TO GET THERE + PARKING
The market will be held at Fritznersgate 15, in Frogner, Oslo. As there is limited parking at the Church, we encourage you to use public transportation. Buses 30 and 31 (and many Bærum buses) stop at Frogner kirke—just one block away.

TAKE PHOTOS WITH SANTA!
Santa Claus will be available for photos at certain times both Saturday and Sunday. We are so pleased that Brooke Ophoff of Brooke Ashlee Photography has volunteered her services and will be our photographer both days. She'll take professional digital photos of your children/family using her camera, and send you the photos by email.

There is a small fee of 50 kroner per sitting. The proceeds will go to benefit the Oslo Crisis Center and our scholarship fund.

Santa will be available for photographs at the following times (and will stay as long as there is a line):
• Saturday 16 Nov - TBA
• Sunday 17 Nov - TBA

You can also take Christmas photos without Santa while the market is open.
