German Christkindlmarket Chicago

The Christkindlmarket Chicago is the most authentic traditional holiday market of its kind outside of Europe, offering a unique shopping experience, family-friendly events & intercultural activities.

The smell of roasted nuts, fresh pretzels, bratwurst and hot spiced wine, the sound of festive music, and the glimmer of sparkling Christmas ornaments, all in a cozy atmosphere – this is the authentic German-style Christkindlmarkt experience.

Each year, from November to December, visitors can explore vendor products from around the world, participate in special events, and enjoy the unique shopping experience. Children can sign up for the Kinder Club Newsletter and download free Kinder Club activities.
