Are you wondering what to do in Chicago this holiday season? Don’t worry, we have the answers! There are many great Chicago Christmas events, whether coming to town to see family, or just looking to soak some of Chicago’s Yuletide spirit and one of our visitors’ favourite stops when in town during November and December is the ChristKindlMarket. While  we have many Christmas events in Chicago occurring nearby our BEST WESTERN Hillside Hotel that are guaranteed to keep your entire family entertained during your visit, the market is definitely one of the best Chicago Christmas events and we recommend it if you’re lucky enough to be in town this year!

The Market takes place from November 23 to December 24, 2011 and is often viewed as one of Chicago’s best Holiday treats. The extremely popular Christmas event takes place in Chicago’s Daley Plaza (just 20 minutes from our Hillside Hotel) every year in the heart of the city and is a highlight of the Chicago Christmas event roster. This German-American market runs from 11:00am until 8:00pm Sunday to Thursday and from 11:00 am to 9:00pm on Fridays and Saturdays and features many great exhibitors selling locally made arts, crafts, food and beverages. Whether you’re looking for unique holiday gifts for family back home, or are simply hoping to absorb some yuletide cheer, this Christmas event in Chicago is one of the best, and is definitely a highlight of the season for guests.
