Visitors dressed for the chilly temperatures to be part of opening night for Barrington’s inaugural ChristKindlFest winter market, beer and glug fest. They shopped outdoors for German and hand-crafted merchandise, savored German food and drinks and dined at tables inside the huge heated tent while enjoying local performers on stage.

If you missed ChristkindlFest tonight, be sure to drop by on Saturday at the Harris Bank parking lot in downtown Barrington. The festival will be open from 10 a.m. to midnight on Saturday, December 7th and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, December 8th.
