Welcome to Nusfjord's Christmas Market
A Timeless Holiday Celebration — Sunday December 14th 2025
Step into the magic of Christmas in Nusfjord Village & Resort, Norway’s oldest and best-preserved fishing village. On Sunday, December 14, 2025, Nusfjord transforms into a festive wonderland filled with tradition, atmosphere, and natural beauty.
The heart of the season is our Christmas Market, open on Sunday from 11:00 – 16:00. Here you can cut your own Christmas tree in our forest (bring your own carving tool), browse handcrafted goods and local delicacies from market stalls, warm up with mulled wine, coffee, and traditional baked goods at Landhandelen, and meet Santa Claus, who has promised a special visit.
This is a festive weekend for both children and adults, where holiday spirit comes alive in the most magical surroundings.
