Join us in celebrating the holiday season at Northfield’s 27th Annual Winter Walk on Thursday, December 11th — one of the community’s most cherished traditions! Thousands of visitors fill downtown each year to enjoy twinkling lights, carolers, horse-drawn carriages, festive shopping, and family fun.

This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase your business to a large and enthusiastic audience, increase brand visibility, and connect with the community during one of the most magical nights of the year. Whether you have a storefront downtown or not, we’ll make sure you have a great location to join the celebration.

Paid Leave Premiums

Employers: Prepare Now for Minnesota’s Paid Leave Program


Minnesota’s Paid Leave Program begins January 1, 2026, and employers must take key steps before December 1, 2025. The program provides paid leave and job protection for employees during major life events, with premiums shared between employers and employees. Employers must set up Paid Leave administrator accounts, notify employees about the program, and decide how to handle premium contributions. Small employers may qualify for reduced rates.

This holiday season, give your business extra visibility by selling your gift cards on the Chamber’s Online Store! It’s a convenient way for customers to shop local and support Northfield businesses—all in one place. We’ll be promoting the online store throughout the holiday season, encouraging shoppers to find the perfect gifts right here in our community.
