Visitors to Bishop Hill’s 2025 Julmarknad can experience a festive blend of Swedish holiday traditions from November 28 to December 7. This year, the Steeple Building Museum is hosting a special attraction—a working model railroad, complete with a detailed Christmas display. Families and train enthusiasts alike can view the exhibit throughout all five days of the market. Alongside the trains, attendees will find Swedish folk characters, unique crafts, holiday music, and an array of shops and restaurants. The Steeple Building, easily recognized by its clock tower, is located at 103 North Bishop Hill Street. Hours are 10 AM to 4 PM on November 28-29 and December 6, and 11 AM to 4 PM on November 30 and December 7.
