Less than half a mile away from Best Western River North, you'll find a favorite Holiday Tradition since 1996, the Christkindlmarket Chicago. The smell of roasted nuts, fresh pretzels, bratwurst and spiced wine, the sound of music and the glimmer of sparkling Christmas ornaments, all in a cozy atmosphere. This is the authentic German-style holiday market. The 2019 Christkindlmarket opens November 15 and runs through December 24 and the best part is admission is always FREE. The German-style outdoor market features international and local vendors with unique offerings for all ages. You'll also find diverse holiday entertainment and original food and beverages like the imported mulled wine call Gluhwein. Daily Hours: Sunday – Thursday 11AM – 8PM Friday – Saturday 11AM -9PM Special Hours: Thanksgiving Day (Nov 28) 11AM – 4PM Christmas Eve (Dec 24) 11AM – 4PM
