Jokkmokk Winter Market Holiday

Already over 400 years ago people in the north gathered around Jokkmokk to trade fur, silver and other necessities and in 1605 Jokkmokk Winter Market established. The market is still a yearly event and has developed to a festival including the market, exhibitions and lectures about the nature and culture of the north.
