Eater Chicago’s Magical Guide to Christkindlmarket | Eater Chicago

"The suburban Aurora location returns for the 2024 season with the same Nov. 22–Dec. 24 run and holiday hours, offering the same German staples — potato pancakes, raclette, bratwurst and sausages, pretzels, and mulled wine (red and apple-cinnamon white versions, souvenir mugs available) — alongside family-friendly options like Kinderpunsch. Organizers are programming additional attractions at this site, including wine tastings and hands-on glass-blowing sessions to make your own ornaments, and each site features its own uniquely designed collectible mug, making it worth visiting both locations. Note that a few vendors operate cash-only, so plan accordingly." - Tony Tran
