Know Before You Go

  • Hours: 11am to 3pm.
  • Parking: Parking is free.

Tips & Advice

  • Bring cash or your checkbook, because the bazaar takes cash or check only and you'll want to buy pastries, porcelain or decorations.
  • From I-270, take exit 4A and head east on Montrose Road for one mile. Saint Elizabeth's Church is on the left, with free parking.
  • Use the carry-out counter if you'd rather take Cafe Danmark's open-faced sandwiches and desserts home instead of eating lunch in the cafe.
  • Stop by the cooking demonstration to watch Danish aebleskiver being made and get a taste while they're freshly cooked.
  • Stay with young children at the children's table, which has LEGOs and free Danish books, because a parent has to supervise.
