Traditional German Market Comes to America!

All Inclusive Escorted Motorcoach Tour from Fairfield Glade, TN to Chicago December 8 - 12, 2009

Inspired by the Christkindlmarket in Nüremberg, Germany, one of the oldest dating back to 1545, the Christkindlmarket Chicago brings a cherished German and European tradition with international flair and local charm to Chicago.

The Christkindlmarket name comes from the actual myth of the Christkindl. She is a fairy-like being, dressed in a gold and white robe with a crown upon her golden locks.

The Christkindl traditionally is the bearer of gifts to all the children in German-speaking countries. Instead of spending thousands of dollars traveling to Germany for Christmas Market, join us and let Germany come to you. In addition to Christkindlmarket Chicago - the largest and most renowned winter holiday market in the United States - you’ll be able to shop ‘till you drop along The Magnificent Mile amid the brilliance of more than a million sparkling lights or ride The Holiday Trolley which makes holiday shopping in Chicago a breeze.

A Beef & Boards Christmas along the way will warm the heart of even the biggest Scrooge and remind you of the best of Christmas past while inspiring a beautiful holiday season.

Before returning home, experience a legacy of excellence at French Lick Resort. Luxurious accommodations, pampering spa treatments, and a casino with 51,000 square feet of Vegas-style gaming...
