“The Vancouver Christmas Market made its debut in 2010 and has become a beloved holiday tradition for Canadians,” says Malte Kluetz, CEO and Founder of Vancouver Christmas Market and Seattle Christmas Market. “We can’t wait to share the magic of the Christmas Market with the Seattle community.”
From Nov. 24 to Dec. 24, the Fisher Pavilion and South Fountain Lawn at Seattle Center will be transformed into a European-inspired outdoor Christmas village and community marketplace.
A true feast for the senses with festive decorations, daily live entertainment, sweet and savory treats, and beautifully handcrafted gifts, the Seattle Christmas Market is the perfect place to celebrate the magic of the holiday season.

Nestled in traditional wooden huts, vendors offer local and international artisan crafts and gifts. Indulge in traditional foods like Bratwurst, Schnitzel, pierogies, roasted nuts and Stollen. Stay warm while strolling through this yuletide wonderland with hot chocolate or Glühwein (hot mulled wine).
Revelers can create memories and “picture-perfect” moments under the 50-foot-tall, walk-through Christmas tree with over 50,000 twinkling lights, enjoy complimentary rides on the Christmas Carousel and wander through the Lover’s Lane light installation.
Delight in the sounds of local musicians performing traditional holiday music from the outdoor Flying Stage located on the four-level Christmas Pyramid or head indoors to the cozy ski chalet-inspired Alpen Haus for entertainment on a second stage.
Founded in 2023, the Seattle Christmas Market is a holiday event inspired by traditional German Christmas Markets. The month-long yuletide celebration takes place at the Fisher Pavilion and South Fountain Lawn at Seattle Center.
