Christkindlmarket is coming to a close

The good news is, the market’s second location, at Gallagher Way in Wrigleyville, will remain open a bit longer!

This week, the Wrigleyville market will be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Christmas Eve. While the Wrigleyville location will be closed on Christmas Day, it will reopen on December 26 and remain open through the end of December until New Year’s Eve.
