Tomtenatta: A Magical Christmas Evening in Östersund’s City Center

On December 18th, Östersund will host Tomtenatta, a festive evening featuring a brand new Christmas market and a variety of holiday activities for all ages.

What Makes This Event Special

”This year’s novelty is the Christmas market, where many local actors and exhibitors will be present. It will complement the late-night shopping and family activities like the Santa parade and meeting Santa. We want to offer something that suits both children and adults and provides an extra reason to visit the city center,” says Bea Olsson, project manager at Destination Östersund.
