Freeloader Friday is your weekly guide to having fun no matter what your budget looks like. Each week we have a list of 100% free events like gallery parties, music, and films in the park, as well as free admission events like special happy hours, markets, and more.
FRIDAY
“Living Wage”
For this group show, five artists have each created 40 paintings, each created in an hour (aka a 40-hour work week). All pieces start at $23, aka the hourly rate for a “living wage” in the U.S. All sales will be donated to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. 4-8 p.m. ALTR Gallery, 451 Taft St. NE, Minneapolis.
Minni Dazzle
Holidazzle isn’t coming back anytime soon; it’s been replaced by the nebulous (and awkwardly named) Winterapolis. Still, this charming Christmas mini-fest at Fulton does a pretty good job of recreating the overall offerings of the event—at least, back when it was a festival (sorry, no light parade, folks!). For the next three days, they’ll be hosting a stream of special events, such as a local biz market with 15-20 vendors popping up daily. There will also be free pics with Santa, free drag bingo with B. Louise, and two choirs caroling while you drink your brew. Free. 3-11 Fri.; noon to 11 p.m. Sat.; noon to 8 p.m. Sun. Fulton Taproom, 414 N. Sixth Ave., Minneapolis; visit fultonbeer.com for the full deets. Through Sunday—Jessica Armbruster

Now in its fifth year, Dayton’s Holiday Market does the old department store one better, hosting over 100 local makers and brands, including Love Your Melon gear, artisan giftables, and unique sports merch from Minnesota teams.

The market will also host Oak Grill Culinary Classics, which will serve up wild rice soup and pastries from local bakeries, and the Jingle Giles Bar, which, according to the release, will offer “festive cocktails, mocktails, meatballs,” and other treats. Folks too scared to venture downtown fear not, as a satellite market will be setting up shop in Southdale Center later this month (personally, I’d take an empty downtown over an empty mall any day).

Minneapolis Christkindl Market
Have you traveled through time, fortuitously arriving at a 16th-century German Christkindl market? Or are you in the North Loop? OK, unless you are having some kind of mental break or decided to hit a nearby dispensary way, way too hard, you’re not going to confuse the two. (That’s probably for the best; Europe used to be pretty gross.) Still, it’s fun to stroll through “time” at these holiday events in a Ren Fest kind of way. During festivities, guests will be able to partake in food and warm drinks including spiced glühwein, gooey raclette cheese, heart-shaped Nordic waffles, French galettes, and Polish pastries. There will be shoppin’ too, with over 30 vendors selling things like traditional ornaments, wooden toys, nutcrackers, steins, beeswax candles, socks, and more.
