Oslow Vintage Market is a large‑scale vintage market held as a special Christmas edition for the year‑end and New Year season, featuring more than 160 carefully selected vintage sellers. Covering a wide spectrum from vintage, antiques, second‑hand items, and flowers to lifestyle goods, it gathers small objects and furniture marked by time together with rare antique collections, deepening the atmosphere of the winter evening.
In the Second‑hand Zone, you can find branded pre‑owned clothing and accessories at reasonable prices, while the Flower Zone and Handmade Zone offer fresh flowers, stylish plant pots, lovingly crafted artworks, and design objects that add a warm touch to everyday life. The first market recreates the ambiance of a European‑style Christmas market, while the second runs under the concept of “the first vintage festival of the new year for sharing wishes and hopes,” letting you feel both the excitement of the year’s end and the anticipation of the new year at once.
Program Information
The first market, held for two days from December 27 to 28, 2025, unfolds in a European‑style Christmas market atmosphere. Against a backdrop of winter lights and music, you can browse various vintage, antique, and second‑hand items to find year‑end gifts and pieces to add to your personal collection.
A live performance filled with warm jazz melodies, which you can enjoy comfortably as you move throughout the market. It’s perfect for pausing between shopping sprees to soak up the winter‑night mood.
At the Santa photo zone, you can take photos brimming with year‑end vibes, and at the commemorative goods‑making experience, you can create your own item and make a special memory. It’s great for families, couples, and friends alike.
Various prize draw events will be held during the market, so you can look forward to small gifts just by visiting. The schedule and how to enter will be announced on site.
The second market, held from January 3 to 4, 2026, runs under the concept of “the first vintage festival of the new year for sharing wishes and hopes.” You can discover items and goods that hint at 2026 trends, as well as limited‑edition vintage products and living items available only at New Year’s.
A DJ live performance will set the tone for the New Year, letting you enjoy the market in a more dynamic atmosphere. The photo zone is perfect for taking photos to mark the start of the year.
Programs such as traditional games, craft workshops, and rice‑cake pounding are prepared for family visitors, creating a time where different generations can come together. You can welcome the new year by experiencing Korean traditional culture with your children.
A DIY New Year’s card‑making program geared toward couples and young adults, where you can handwrite the wishes you want to share for the coming year. In the New Year lucky draw, you can lightly test your fortune for the year while hoping for a small stroke of luck.
The market runs from 11:00 to 19:00, so if you want to enjoy popular booths and performances without rushing, it’s best to arrive around opening time. It can be especially crowded on weekends and around the year‑end and New Year holidays, so a morning visit is recommended.
During the event, various performances and experience programs will be scheduled throughout the day, so it’s a good idea to first check the timetable provided on site and then plan your route. If you make sure that the performances and activities you’re interested in don’t overlap, you can enjoy a much fuller experience.
Admission to the market is free, but some experience programs and events may require separate registration or be first‑come, first‑served. Check the official Instagram announcements and on‑site information beforehand, and line up a little before the start time so you don’t miss out.
Popular experiences may close early as they fill up, so it’s wise to move over about 10 minutes before they start.
The vibe of the 1st round (Christmas) and 2nd round (New Year) is quite different, so if possible, visiting twice is a great idea.
Visit (Planned) Impressions
Today is November 29, 2025, which is before the scheduled Oslow Vintage Market dates of December 27, 2025 to January 4, 2026. With the festival just around the corner, a quiet sense of excitement is building as I slowly make plans to go. When I imagine a space that hasn’t yet opened, the warmth, sounds, and light that old objects will radiate into the winter air naturally come to mind.
What I’m looking forward to most is that, once the Oslow Vintage Market actually opens, I’ll be able to wander among old furniture and accessories, faded clothes and trinkets, and feel as if I’m walking back through time. Just thinking about moving between shops and booths, in air filled with the scent of wood and aged leather, gentle background music, and people’s laughter, already makes my heart beat a little faster. When I actually visit, I don’t want to rush; I’d like to linger for a long time at the booths I’m drawn to and slowly imagine the journey each object has taken.
I hope I’ll make at least one unforgettable discovery at this upcoming market, and that in this space where old and new coexist, I’ll be able to capture a quiet yet vivid winter scene. It seems nice to arrive early before the crowds build, wander around at an easy pace, and then, as the sun goes down, take photos of the market as the lights turn on one by one.
