Of all the holiday attractions we designated as must-see’s, the Christmas Village at Love Park closes first.

You have only until this Saturday, December 24 to stop by the European wonderland featuring more than 50 international vendors selling arts, crafts and seasonal holiday gifts in quaint wooden booths.

There’s also a Life Size Advent calendar, Christkind photo wall where you can take pictures with friends or loved ones and a “Wish Wall” where you can hang a written wish on the wall.

When you’ve built up your appetite, head to the food tent for bratwursts, beer and other German specialties from Brahaus Schmitz, then quench your thirst with some hot German Gluhwien (mulled wine) from Chaddsford Winery. Save room for assorted pastries and European desserts.
