Bring the family to the spectacular Kristkindl Market in Chicago’s Daley Plaza through December 29, and stay at the nearby and affordable Best Western Plus Chicago Hotel at Hillside!
The annual Kristkindl Market is a longtime Chicago tradition. You can walk around Daley Plaza and not buy presents, buy presents and not walk, or walk and buy amazing presents from around the world! Stumped on what to get for Great-Aunt Martha? You will find a perfect gift at Kristkindl Market! Kids will love the Scavenger Hunt; the giant Advent calendar; and the Passport Activity Book.

Shop ’til you drop at: Frank’s Ornament House; Bethlehem Nativity Products; Irish Sisters Imports; Toy Wonderland; Wildlife Ornaments; Wooden Treasures; Hoffmann Company; Gifts from Eastern Europe; Dragons and Fairytales; and many, many more!
You hungry? Stop by Dinkel’s Bakery; German Grill Company; Baked Cheese Haus; Chocolate-covered Treats and Baked Apples; Pemberton Candies; German beer and spiced wine; Stuffed Gourmet Pretzels; United Chocolate Works; Schnitzel House; and much more!
