Seattle Festival of Trees Display at Fairmont Olympic

Volunteer-designed holiday trees fill the Fairmont Olympic Hotel lobby from November 16 through December 1, 2026. The public can walk through for free; the trees are also for sale, with proceeds going to Seattle Children’s uncompensated care and Autism Center.

The November 21 gala is a separate, sold-out ticketed night. The lobby display is the open daytime visit, with patient dedications on many of the trees if you want the fundraising story.

Duck in while you are already on University Street. It ends December 1, before most outdoor light shows hit their peak crowds.
