From Thanksgiving Day through Christmas Eve, over 30 local and international vendors sell their wares from authentic German cabins modelled after the original market in Nuremburg, Germany. Over 500,000 visitors from around the world flock to Chicago every year to enjoy the activities, performances, shop and savor German food and drink.

Criterion's founder worked with the 2003, 2004 and 2005 Christkindlmarkets. We were delighted to return in 2007 and continue our association with this great event.
