One of Chicago’s most beloved holiday traditions, the Christkindlmarket, will not be returning to one of its usual locations this season. The decision was made due to complications from the ongoing pandemic and related uncertainties regarding safety and logistics.
The popular German-inspired Christmas market has been a staple in the city for over 20 years, drawing in thousands of visitors each year with its festive atmosphere, traditional foods, and unique shopping opportunities. However, this year’s market will not be held at Daley Plaza, where it has traditionally taken place.
While disappointed, organizers are optimistic about the future of the Christkindlmarket and are exploring alternative locations and formats for this season. They hope to still provide Chicagoans with the opportunity to experience the holiday magic and charm that the market has come to be known for.
Despite the challenges presented by the current circumstances, the Christkindlmarket remains committed to spreading holiday cheer and bringing the community together in a safe and festive way. Plans are still in the works for the market to return to other locations in the city, and organizers are working diligently to ensure that the event is still a success, even in a different setting.
Fans of the Christkindlmarket are encouraged to stay tuned for updates on this year’s event and to support the market in any way that they can. While the absence of the market from its traditional location may be disappointing, the spirit and tradition of the Christkindlmarket will still shine through in whatever form it takes this holiday season.
