Eat your heart out, Mariah Carey.
Starting Friday, Nov. 24, Seattle Center’s halls will be decked for the brand new Christmas Market , a month-long smorgasbord of festivities inspired by traditional German Christmas markets. Think bratwursts + Bavarian beers alongside lords a-leaping and pipers piping.
There will be giveaways
, live music
, gift shops, food
, and lots of family-friendly activities
through Christmas Eve at Fisher Pavilion and the South Fountain Lawn. Twinkling highlights include:
- Letters to Santa writing station
- Magical Mirror selfie booth
- A giant merry-go-round
- Christmas Karaoke
- Lovers Lane date nights with Glühwein (mulled wine)
- Live painting sessions from famed muralist “Henry”
Or you can just wander the grounds to check out the ski lodge-inspired Alpine Haus and the giant walk-through Christmas tree.
Tickets
run $16 per person for a single day, though you can get a “season” pass for $32 for multiple return visits.
