The holiday season is in full swing, and there’s no better place to embrace its magic than at the Northrup King Building’s Holiday Lane. Every Saturday in December—except December 28th—our historic halls come alive with festive cheer, welcoming visitors to discover a winter wonderland of art, creativity, and community. 

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the building will be transformed into a holiday haven, brimming with lights, decor, and the warm aroma of seasonal treats. Whether you're sipping on a steaming cup of hot chocolate or savoring some holiday treats, the experience is sure to wrap you in holiday joy.

A Treasure Trove of Unique Gifts 

Wander through the building’s many studios and galleries to find one-of-a-kind gifts created by local artists and makers. From handcrafted jewelry and ceramics to fine art prints and textiles, Holiday Lane is a treasure trove for anyone seeking meaningful, handmade holiday presents. 

Whether you’re shopping for a loved one or treating yourself, there’s something special waiting at every turn. And with the studios decked out in their festive best, the atmosphere is as dazzling as the creations themselves.

Holiday Lane is more than just a shopping event—it’s a celebration of the Northeast Minneapolis arts community. This is your chance to meet the artists, hear their stories, and witness their craft firsthand. With each step, you’ll be supporting the vibrant local arts scene that makes this event truly unforgettable. 

And the best part? Admission is free, parking is plentiful, and the entire building is ADA accessible. Bring your friends, family, and holiday spirit, and make a day of it!
