The holiday season is here, and no matter how you celebrate, you can always find a way to have fun in Chicago. The Christkindlmarket is just a short train ride away from UIC, and is a perfect way to spend an hour or two with friends and unwind after a long semester of studies.
Coming from West Campus, the market is just four stops on the Pink Line, from Polk to Clark and Lake. From East Campus, take the Blue Line five stops from UIC-Halsted to Washington.
With locations in Daley Plaza, Wrigleyville, and Aurora, there are options to visit all throughout the Chicagoland area.
The Christkindlmarket Chicago at Daley Plaza is open until December 24, 2023
Sunday through Thursday: 11 am – 8 pm
Friday through Saturday: 11 am – 9 pm
Christmas Eve 11 am - 4 pm
