Christkindlmarket Returning To Daley Plaza And Wrigleyville In November
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Spiced wine, hot pretzels, potato pancakes and more will be returning to Daley Plaza and Wrigleyville this holiday season, as Christkindlmarket plans to return in November, after the popular Christmas-themed festival was forced to go virtual last year due to the pandemic.
Christkindlmarket organizers announced Wednesday the German-themed Christmas festival will return to Daley Plaza and Gallagher Way outside Wrigley Field beginning Nov. 19.
"To our dear Chicagoans and visitors from afar - we can't express how much we missed you all in 2020, and counting down the days until we can finally welcome you back!" organizers said in a Facebook post.
