Plus, there’s a free public skating rink presented by the Downtown Seattle Association. Free skate rentals are included, ensuring a delightful time for all.

Other than shopping and skating you can immerse yourself in the holiday spirit with entertainment from local performers and carollers. If you’re feeling adventurous you can try your hand at the Ornament Scavenger Hunt throughout Pioneer Square every Thursday and on Small Business Saturday (November 25th).

You’ll be looking for unique, handblown ornaments by Glasshouse Studios. Weekly clues will be provided through Instagram and if you’re the lucky locater, you get to keep the ornament.

And finally you can give back by participating in the Chief Seattle Club Supply Drive. You can donate new items from Chief Seattle Club’s Amazon wishlist to support the Native-led housing and human services agency.
