Nov 9, 2021 | 0 comments

November is when Chicago gets to show off all of its holiday flair, so here are some great spots where you can see seasonal lights, along with other fun things to do in Chicago in November 2021.

Christkindlmarket

The Christkindlmarket is a decades-long Chicago tradition, organized by the German-American Chamber of Commerce in the Midwest. This delightful, Christmas market features mulled wine, delicious food and their commemorative boot mugs. They have branched out to include a location at Wrigleyville brining a wider range of joy to the City of Chicago. There’s a kinder club for children, and you can also reserve a “stammtisch” or a table reservation in the heated timber haus for large families or groups. Each table accommodates up to 8 adults and is a great way to make sure you have a cozy environment for friends, family or a festive company outing.
