Tree Lighting Celebration

Holiday tree and star in downtown Seattle

Tree lighting ceremony in downtown Seattle's Westlake Park

Unwrap the holiday season at our annual Tree Lighting Celebration on Friday, Nov. 29, 2024 at Westlake Park! We’ll kick off the festivities at noon with family-friendly craft making, costumed characters and giveaways in Westlake Park. It all leads up to the main event at 5 p.m.: the lighting of the 45-foot holiday tree and the iconic Holiday Star immediately followed by a spectacular fireworks show!
