Experience the Magic of SNØMARKET at The Norwegian
Celebrate the cozy charm of winter at Rockford’s beloved SNØMARKET, hosted by The Norwegian. This outdoor Scandinavian-inspired festival transforms the heart of Churchills Grove into a snow-kissed wonderland filled with warmth, flavor, and tradition.
Savor the taste of the season with homemade glögg, rich hot chocolate, æbleskiver, lefse, and the crowd-favorite fish on a stick. Enjoy a free horse-drawn carriage ride through the historic neighborhood, test your aim at the herring toss, or join in a round of Christmas “carole-oke.” Whether you’re gathered around the fire pit listening to Viking tales from Chef Kent or simply soaking in the festive atmosphere, SNØMARKET is the perfect way to embrace winter’s magic—Scandinavian style.
Free and open to the public, this event brings community, culture, and cozy together in one unforgettable experience.
