Thank you for this year!

The market is over for this time and the calmness has returned to Jokkmokk. That doesn’t mean that the people of Jokkmokk are lazing around. Right now, there’s an extreme running race going on in the mountains with the finish line in the heart of Jokkmokk tomorrow, and at the end of March it’s time for the world’s longest ski race, the Nordenskiöldsloppet.

We would like to extend our warmest thanks to all 140+ vendors and to all the organizers who together arranged more than 250 different events (lectures, concerts, winter activities and much more) for visitors to choose from. Without you, Jokkmokk’s Market would not be what it is.

50 tons of thanks (the amount of sand that was used) to the crew at the street office who work hard almost 24/7 with cleaning, snow removal, sanding and making sure everything else around works as it should.

Also, lots of thanks to all our lovely market hosts. Your work in helping visitors with everything between heaven and earth out in the market area is incredibly appreciated by both street vendors and visitors.

A special thank you also goes to Rigmor, who for 10 years has entertained visitors on all three market days while waiting for the reindeer rajd at the Snow Stage.

And finally, we would like to thank all of you visitors for coming to the market. You are what make the market into the highlight that it is, and we hope you had a fantastic experience here with us.

See you in the crowd again next year, right?

Traveling with dad – from Asti (Italy) to Jokkmokk

This is Niko, age 7, and his father Emanuele. At the end of this week they will start their journey towards Jokkmokk and the Jokkmokk market.

They travel in a camper van and start from Asti in Italy. They will then travel through Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Denmark before finally reaching Sweden. Of course, there will also be a detour to Finland to meet Santa, while they are so “close”.

We look forward to joining them on their journey!

We are looking for interesting travelers

Cyklist på en snöig vinterväg.

Hello everyone! We at the market office are looking for those of you who intend to get to the Jokkmokk market in a slightly different and creative way this year.

Maybe you are a big group traveling far with caravans? Or have you decided to cycle through snow and cold? Are you taking the Inlandsbanan and enjoying the train ride through the winter landscape? Or maybe you’re coming in an unusual vehicle – a vintage car, dog sled or even on skis?

Please tell us about your plans! We’d love to hear your story and maybe share it with others. Send an email to jokkmokksmarknad@jokkmokk.se and put “traveler” in the subject line – we look forward to hearing from you!

Feel free to spread the word to friends and acquaintances who might be traveling in a unique way.
