Volunteer at the Market

The Christkindlmarket welcomes dedicated elves to support special events at our Daley Plaza and Aurora locations.

Volunteering allows you to contribute to the Christkindlmarket in a flexible manner in November and December.

Our volunteers spread holiday cheer while helping with event support.
We ask volunteers to commit to specific events, with shifts lasting a few hours on dedicated days. You will receive an introduction and training and receive support and guidance from our team.

Volunteers must be aged 16+, and join us ready to roll in cold weather with a can-do attitude and team-spirit.

Volunteers can see when we seek volunteers and apply to volunteer via our JotForm here.

Thank you!

The Christkindlmarket Team is always looking for dedicated elves to support them at their special events on-site.

Volunteering allows you to experience the market in a unique way while getting to know the team that runs the beloved holiday event.
Your volunteer shift will last a couple of hours on the dedicated event days. You will receive a short on-site introduction and training and will work closely with the event organizers.
