Every summer, Oslo’s retail scene comes together to celebrate Markedsdagene – Market Days – an established initiative led by Oslo Handelstands Forening in collaboration with the city’s shopping centers and high street retailers.

Elisabeth Lohk, Center Manager at Oslo City. :

– For Oslo City, one of Norway’s busiest shopping centers with more than 11 million visitors/year, Market Days represents a key opportunity to join forces with the broader retail community to offer memorable experiences for both locals and visitors.

While Market Day traditionally takes place on Saturday, Oslo City has for several years chosen to extend the celebration to three full days. This enables more retailers to participate, especially in our popular outdoor area, which is transformed into a vibrant and inviting marketplace.

*– As one of the city’s most visited shopping centers, we take pride in leading the way in creating great customer experiences at the heart of Oslo, *says Lohk.

A clear success

This year’s Market Days were a clear success for Oslo City. Across the three days, we welcomed 138,060 visitors, marking a 6% increase compared to the same event in 2024.

With fantastic summer weather, strong marketing across all channels, and the active participation of our retailers both indoors and outdoors, the atmosphere was festive and full of life. A big thank you to all partners, our tenants and the people of Oslo!
