Christkindlmarket, Chicago’s adored German Christmas Market, is back again as a safe outdoor experience for the whole family — always admission-free. After running 26 seasons in Chicago’s Daley and 4 seasons in Wrigleyville, it’s expanding the holiday joy to Aurora for the first time. Pick your location and take your senses on a journey with the smell of roasted nuts, fresh pretzels, bratwurst, and hot spiced wine in the backdrop of sparkling Christmas ornaments and festive music. Explore vendor products from around the world, participate in special events, and enjoy a unique shopping experience. Plan your attendance and help us prepare for your arrival.
Admission is FREE, but we encourage you to plan your visit. You’ll receive reminders, and we’ll prepare for your arrival.
