Looking for a festive Christmas shopping experience? Look no further than the AWC's 7th annual, distinctively American Christmas market.
Due to COVID-19, we held our 2020 market online. This year we are pleased to offer a "hybrid" Christmas market -- you can shop online (1-17 November) or in person (20-21 November) -- or both
We will update this page with our infection control measures for the in-person market closer to the dates of the event.

You can pay by VIPPS or card (cash will be accepted at the in-person market).

Santa Claus will be available for photos at certain times both Saturday and Sunday. Our photographer will take professional digital photos of your children/family, and will send the photos to you by email.
