General Info
German beer and hot spiced wine flow from several locations throughout the market. Visitors can even sip wine from their very own boot-shaped, collectable Christkindlmarket Chicago mug. The beer is not the only product from Germany.
Many of the sweets and handicrafts and even 65% of the vendors themselves are flown in from Germany, thus visitors have the unique opportunity to learn more about German language and culture. It is features like this that keep Chicago’s market authentic.
The German American Chamber of Commerce, which hosts this event, oversees thousands of similar details to ensure the Christkindlmarket Chicago’s traditional atmosphere.
