Marché de Noël
Join us on the first Saturday of December for our annual Marché de Noël ! Explore our collection of local artists and vendors in our Christmas Market, open from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm.
Most vendors are donating 10% of their sales to Alliance Française, so your shopping helps support our non-profit’s cultural and social programs bringing French-language events to the Twin Cities!

This holiday season, AFMSP is collecting Toys for Tots for families in need!
We will have a donation box for toys in the lobby of our building from November 21 to December 10. You can drop off donations at any time before December 10 or you can bring them to our Marché de Noël on Saturday, December 3 and our Fête d’hiver on Friday, December 9. Merci d’avance for your generosity and for making this holiday season special for children in our community! Click here to read more about donating to Toys for Tots.
What is an acceptable donation?
The Marines accept monetary donations and new, unwrapped toys. Some examples are games, action figures, dolls, baby toys, puzzles, and non-realistic-looking weapons. They do accept homemade toys but ask that they are safe and free of sharp edges and small items that could be swallowed or otherwise injure the children that receive these donations. Toys are distributed to kids from 0 - 15 years old. Typically, there is a shortage of toys for infants and teenagers. Gift cards are accepted but are not distributed as gifts. The Marines take donated gift cards and purchase gifts for the program.
