About us
Since 1996, German American Events, LLC, a subsidiary of the German American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest, has hosted the Christkindlmarket Chicago as a free event, featuring international and local vendors with unique offerings for all ages. The German-style outdoor market has become so popular that it expanded to other locations in Illinois and Wisconsin. The unique shopping experience, diverse holiday entertainment and original food and beverages like the imported mulled wine, called Glühwein, make the Christkindlmarket a preferred and popular destination. Admission is always FREE! Christkindlmarket unites cherished German and European tradition with international flair and local charm. Inspired by the 16th century Christkindlesmarkt in Nuremberg, Germany, one of the first outdoor markets of its kind, the Christkindlmarket is well-known for its vendors’ high quality gifts and food, holiday cheer, and for being the ideal place for families to make unique memories.

Usually, we don't post our Instagram Reels here on LinkedIn... but for really special occasions like this one, we make exceptions! The Christkind got to explore all the fun corners at the United Center, and then even had the honor to shoot the puck at Saturday's game. Thank you for having us, Chicago Blackhawks. Thanks for making this happen, Anthony Filomena! We always love supporting other Chicago businesses, sports teams, events and co. There are so many wonderful and unique opportunities to be creative together, partner, and collaborate. If you have any fun ideas and are interested in working together, feel free to send us a message. ✨ #thechristkindlmarket #chicagoblackhawks #chicagoevents #chicagosports #chicagopartners #chicagobusiness
