San Francisco Baltic Christmas Fair, San Francisco

• Makers, sellers, and artisans from the local Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian communities offer a variety of gifts for the people on your list. Whether modern, traditional, or folk-inspired — you will find it among the jams and preserves, Baltic-style breads and cakes, locally produced honey, traditional straw ornaments, beach glass jewelry, handmade dolls, prints, embroidered textiles and clothing, wool socks, handmade accessories, ceramics, Baltic books, clay sculpture, holiday decorations, handmade cards, and Christmas chocolates. And maybe a surprise or two!

• Activities: meet and take pictures with Santa, and hear Christmas carols from the San Francisco Estonian Community Choir. Raffle will be held throughout the day (free entry for all attendees), as well as kids’ craft activity.

• Masks are welcome and encouraged in the marketplace area. If you are experiencing COVID or flu symptoms, please stay home to recover. Let’s all look out for our community, and have a successful and safe event.

• Coming by public transit? The Latvian Hall is accessible via the MUNI 48 line, which runs frequently on the weekend and has a stop very near the Latvian Hall. Parking can be a challenge in the area — carpooling is encouraged.
