Chicago, IL – The beloved Christkindlmarket will not take place in Wrigleyville in 2024 due to the scheduling of the NHL Winter Classic and additional programming at Gallagher Way. This popular holiday event, known for its festive atmosphere and unique shopping experience, will be missed in the Wrigleyville neighborhood.
According to the organizers, the decision to relocate was influenced by the need to accommodate the NHL Winter Classic and other planned events. They regret any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate the community’s understanding. Organizers expressed their excitement about returning to Lakeview in future years, ensuring that the tradition of the Christkindlmarket continues in another nearby location.
Despite the change, the Christkindlmarket will still take place at its other traditional locations in Daley Plaza and Aurora in 2024. These venues will continue to offer the same festive atmosphere, holiday stalls, food, and entertainment that visitors have come to cherish.
The Christkindlmarket, inspired by traditional German Christmas markets, has been a seasonal highlight in Wrigleyville, attracting visitors with its holiday charm. While the relocation may disappoint some attendees, organizers are confident that the market will continue to bring joy and holiday spirit to its new location and established venues.
For more information about the new location and upcoming events, visitors are encouraged to check the official Christkindlmarket website. Stay tuned for updates as organizers plan for a successful 2024 season despite the change in venue.
