Seattle Center Welcomes First Seattle Christmas Market
Nov 22, 2023 | Seattle Pride
The Seattle Christmas Market combines everything we love about the holidays in Seattle with a centuries-old tradition of German towns: gathering together for shared holiday cheer, sampling local delicacies, shopping for gifts, and enjoying live entertainment.
Located at the South Fountain Lawn and Fisher Pavilion at Seattle Center, the European village-styled Seattle Christmas Market runs Nov. 24-Dec. 24. With more than 60 artisan huts offering handcrafted gifts, enjoy sip-and-stroll experiences with mulled wine, German beer, pretzels, bratwurst, and more in a heated Alpine Lounge; hop on the Christmas Carousel; and participate in a market-wide scavenger hunt providing holiday fun for all ages.
