Unwrap the holiday season at our annual Tree Lighting Celebration on Friday, Nov. 28! We’ll kick off the festivities at 1 p.m. with craft making, costumed characters, sweet treats and more surprises at Westlake Center. It all leads up to the main event starting at 5 p.m.: the lighting of the 45-foot holiday tree, the massive holiday star, immediately followed by a spectacular fireworks show! Come join us for the tree-lighting countdown with event emcee Rick Rizzs, the voice of the Seattle Mariners, motown vocal trio The Jewel Tones and a few other special guests.

Then we’ll keep the holiday celebration going with a free candlelight concert at Pacific Place starting at 6 p.m.
