Seattle Center Winterfest

Seattle Center Winterfest runs November 27 through December 31, 2026, with campus lights, the Winter Train and Village in the Armory (10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily), Saturday ice sculpting at Mural Amphitheatre, weekend Armory Stage shows, Friday movie nights, and a free New Year's Eve program.

Most of that campus programming is free to browse. The separately ticketed Seattle Christmas Market overlaps on the same grounds from November 20 through December 26.

Take light rail or Seattle Center parking, then use the Armory train display as the indoor stop when rain or cold cuts the outdoor light walk short.
