Experience falling snow and more during the most festive season at The Bellevue Collection, the Northwest’s premier shopping destination. The star of the show for the last 15 years in Bellevue is Snowflake Lane, a nightly holiday celebration that runs from Black Friday through Christmas Eve.
Magical Holidays. Let it Snow.
Snowfall in the Pacific Northwest can be challenging to predict but at The Bellevue Collection, it happens nightly. Great for kids of all ages, Snowflake Lane is the most festive holiday show.
Celebrating 15 years, The Bellevue Collection and its owner, the Kemper Freeman family, are delighted to share the wonder of Snowflake Lane with you! And downtown Bellevue, Washington’s premier shopping center is full of surprises for the holiday shopper and lots of delight for the family, too.
Snowflake Lane
The most magical winter wonderland features a nightly parade and light show at 7pm from Black Friday through Christmas Eve. Some of the fun to be seen at this complimentary event includes costumed dancers, toy drummers, parade floats, your favorite holiday music and snowflakes drifting from the sky. Prior to grabbing hot cocoa, and finding your favorite spot on the sidewalk, there’s plenty to do:
Before the parade begins, meet your favorite characters every Monday through Thursday, 6:00 – 6:30 pm, from Dec. 2 – 20 at Lincoln South Food Hall.
You can also visit Santa’s Snowflake Lane Factory and help make the snow that falls every night on Snowflake Lane. Take part in this magical, one-of-a-kind experience and have your photo taken with Santa in Bellevue Square, Nov. 29 – Dec. 24.
End the family fun-filled night with dinner reservations at The Collection’s Dining District that includes over 50 local-to-global restaurants & nightlife adventures for all ages.
