Welcome to the Lincoln Square Christkindl Market

Welcome to the second annual Lincoln Square Christkindl Market. This year promises once again to bring the sights, sounds and flavors of the season to the square! Strolling musicians, roasted chestnuts, ice sculptures and Christmas decorations will adorn the square. Under the big tent, traditional German food, bratwurst, potato pancakes, goulash and apple strudel will tempt your taste buds. Sip on warm Gluhwein as you listen to traditional Christmas carols.

Leave the hustle and bustle of downtown shopping, downtown. Relax, stroll and shop among the dozens of vendors and merchants in Lincoln Square. Discover a wide range of unique German products in the square. Under the big tent you'll find charming boutiques filled with artisan crafts, homemade jams, jellies and chocolates.

But that's not all...
bring the children to the Kids Korner where they can decorate cookies, make-and-take special ornaments or gifts, play games or have their face painted. Have your picture taken with St. Nicholas. And don't miss the tree lighting ceremony on December 5th.
