Create holiday memories in downtown Seattle this season with holiday fun at Westlake Park and Occidental Square. All events are free and open to the public.
Occidental Square
Sweet & Snowy Saturdays – Dec. 9 and 16
Occidental Square in historic Pioneer Square is the quintessential backdrop for Seattle holiday memories. Stop by on select Saturdays for free treats, photo opps with festive characters, live music and – if you time it right – an occasional “snow flurry.”
Wintry Weekend Ice Skating Rink – Dec. 8-10
Our winter classic is back! Lace up your skates and glide across our free synthetic ice rink, returning to Occidental Square for its second year. Our pop-up 40×80-foot outdoor rink will welcome skaters of all ages and skill levels to take a merry turn on the ice. Skates are available to borrow for free. The rink will be open 1-7 p.m. on Friday and noon-6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
Holiday Market – Dec. 8-9
Finish (or start) your holiday shopping and support local businesses at this pop-up holiday market, hosted by the Alliance for Pioneer Square. Shop crafts, artwork and more from 40-plus makers under the cascading lights in the London plane trees.
