Winter is here and so is the Christkindlmarket. It opens up once again on Daley Plaza this Friday.
There nothing like grabbing some strudel and hot chocolate when its 20 degrees outside and the Christkindlmarket is just the place. It attracts over a million visitors every year, the 23rd annual market features dozens of vendors from Chicago, Germany and Austria, selling everything from ornaments to roasted nuts and traditional German fare. This year’s market runs from Friday, November 16 until Christmas Eve (December 24), and is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Christkindlmarket will not be returning to the park area outside Wrigley Field this year, although ice skating and other holiday events will be hosted there.
