The Christkindlmarket Wrigleyville is located at Gallagher Way, easy to get to by public transportation, offering extra seasonal fun for all age groups including ice skating, visits with Santa, and more winter activities around the spectacular Christmas tree. Guests can also explore all the holiday-themed restaurants and bars throughout Gallagher Way and the hip surrounding neighborhood.
The Christkindlmarket Aurora brings the authentic holiday experience back to the burbs! What could be better than free parking, a beautiful stroll by the river, taking in all the Christmas lights, combined with a visit at the German-style outdoor market in a family-friendly environment?!
