Downtown Seattle is the Heart of the Holidays
Nov. 29, 2019–Jan. 1, 2020
The Downtown Seattle Association brought traditional and new festivities to the heart of our city once again this past holiday season. Young or young at heart, there was something for everyone.
In 2019, our traditional holiday carousel returned to Westlake Park to entertain shoppers and visitors. Westlake was also home to a pop-up Holiday Market. Curated by Urban Craft Uprising, rotating vendors sold hand-crafted goods every weekend. A special holiday food truck was at Westlake Park every day serving sweet and savory treats. On the other end of downtown, Occidental Square was home to a new sparkly tree as Pioneer Square got spruced up for the holiday season.
2019 Holiday Tree-lighting Celebration
Thanks for coming!
On Friday, Nov. 29 , thousands of spectators gathered at Westlake Park for the annual tree-lighting celebration presented by Alaska Airlines. After the tree lit up, a dusting of snow magically appeared and a spectacular fireworks show lit up the Seattle sky.

Did you give it a whirl?
Thousands took a ride on the Holiday Carousel in Westlake Park, where every ticket sold contributed to DSA’s year-round efforts managing Westlake Park and Occidental Square.
Urban Craft Uprising Holiday Market
Home of the perfect gift
Urban Craft Uprising returned to Westlake Park with local vendors selling hand-crafted goods — from ceramics and candles to chocolate and cards.
