Seattle Center Winterfest

Everything old is new again at Seattle Center Winterfest, with six weeks of festive, FREE, fun-filled entertainment. Visit Seattle Center Armory, restored to its original grandeur and dressed for the season. Here you’ll find the timeless Winter Train & Village, warm roasted nuts and other fine edibles. Outside, sparkling lights illuminate the center of Seattle Center in its 50th Anniversary year.
