Holiday Night Market with Santa

Pike Place Market hosts its Holiday Night Market with Santa on Thursday, December 10, from 5 PM to 9 PM. It's an evening market with handmade treasures, free Santa photos, and seasonal treats from local artisans. The night is part of the Market's broader holiday celebrations and leads up to the famous Market lighting ceremony.

If you've spent any time around the Market in December, you know how it changes. One of Seattle's oldest and most beloved gathering places fills with holiday greenery, twinkling lights, and jingle bells. The surrounding neighborhood is often described as the most magical time of year in downtown Seattle, and this market sits right in the middle of it. The evening format means you can browse the stalls after work, with the lights and greenery already up around you.

Between the stalls of handmade goods, there are free photos with Santa and seasonal treats from local artisans. It's a good spot to pick up a few unique gifts and grab a snack while you're at it. The whole thing runs from 5 PM to 9 PM on Thursday, December 10, at Pike Place Market.
