The German holiday market has been held at Naper Settlement since 2016.

"True to our mission, Christkindlmarket has provided a gathering place during the holiday season for people to connect. It was a great event and we take this moment to thank all our visitors for coming to celebrate the holidays with us," said Rena Tamayo-Calabrese, president and CEO of Naper Settlement.

The market was a successful holiday event that generated "$7.2 million gross in economic impact each year," according to a release from Naper Settlement.

The museum is in conversation to develop a new holiday experience at the campus this winter, the release also stated.
