Stalls showcase locally crafted goods such as dipped candles, silverwork, ceramics, and hand-woven textiles, alongside traditional festive foods like smoked fish, sausages, ostkaka, and marzipan. Entertainment enlivens the town with wandering jesters, fire eaters, live choirs, horse carriages, and demonstrations by Smålands husarer.
