Magic in the Market at Pike Place

Pike Place Market's 31st Annual Magic in the Market is Saturday, November 28, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Market PDA lists free Santa photos (line closes at 3 p.m.), scavenger hunts, cookie decorating, craft stations, buskers, and a 5 p.m. holiday lighting ceremony under the Public Market Center sign.

Most listed activities are free. Sip and Savor drinks are 21+ and sold by participating businesses, not as a separate festival ticket.

Take downtown transit if you are bringing a stroller. Leave time to walk between Economy Atrium, North Pavilion, and MarketFront stops before the 5 p.m. lighting.
