Holiday Night Market with Santa at Pike Place

Pike Place’s Holiday Night Market is Thursday, December 10, 2026, from 5 to 9 p.m. on the north end around MarketFront and Desimone Bridge. Enter at Pike Place and Stewart Street.

After the daytime Market winds down, 70-plus craftspeople, farmers, and food vendors set up for the evening. Santa wanders for free candid photos, and some restaurants stay open late. Magic in the Market on November 28 is the lighting-and-cookie night; this December date is the shopping night.

Free to wander. Pick a meet-up corner first, because the north end gets loud and crowded once Santa is moving.
