Christkindlmarket - CHICAGO

Saturday, December 14, 2024  9am-5pm 

Each year visitors can explore vendor products from around the world, participate in special events, and enjoy this unique shopping experience. The smell of roasted nuts,  fresh pretzels, bratwurst and hot spiced wine, the sound of music, and the glimmer of sparkling Christmas ornaments, all in a cozy atmosphere – this is the authentic Germanstyle Christkindlmarket experience.

This event features international and local vendors with various offerings for all ages. The unique shopping experience, cheerful live entertainment and original food and beverages like the imported mulled wine from Germany, called Glühwein, makes the Christkindlmarket a preferred and popular destination.

This trip will depart from the Francis Center in Sandwich and participants will be dropped off in Daley Plaza to shop and explore at their leisure.

LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR:

Hello Friends,

Happy Fall! Fall is definitely one of the most beautiful times of the year. We are very excited to see the changing colors of the trees and the coolness of the weather. I hope you all enjoyed your summer time activities with family and friends. We truly enjoyed our summer here in the parks, and enjoyed seeing all of you out enjoying what the Sandwich Park District has to offer. This summer we offered numerous fun programs and events. As always, we have an amazing turnout for our Freedom Day’s Parade and Fireworks. It warmed my heart to see so many of Sandwich’s residents out celebrating our country’s independence! Although the summer is coming to an end, its time to get excited and ready for our fall and early winter activities.
