What to Do in Seattle During the Fall & Winter Holiday Season
The weather may be wet and the days may be shorter during the winter, but that won’t stop Seattleites from having fun. With a good rain jacket or an umbrella, you can enjoy activities inside and out. Skip the crowds and save some money by traveling in the off season.
Read our recent blog post for our top recommendations on what to do in Seattle during the fall and winter holiday season, updated for 2025!

Here’s a great way to get involved if you live in the area!

One of the most magical events we host yearly at Green Lake is our annual Pathway of Lights, where we set up over 1500 luminaries around the lake for visitors to enjoy! In the spirit of the season, we also host local school and community bands, orchestras, and choirs to amplify the Winter cheer! This year Pathway of Lights will be taking place from 4:30-7:30 pm on Saturday, December 13th!

For those of you looking for an opportunity to participate in this fantastic event we are looking for volunteers to help set up and facilitate the musical performances and assist with setting up the luminaries (placing almost 2000 of them by hand is hard work!). We appreciate the dedication of all our wonderful volunteers and would not be able to run an event such as this without your help!! Please fill out the form below if you would like to get involved!

We are partnering with FamilyWorks again this year to collect non-perishable, non-expired food items to benefit the local community. We will have donation sites set up at all three of our music stages for easy drop-off! https://familyworksseattle.org/food-banks/
