Holidays in the Square - Upcoming Holiday Event Calendar

There's no better neighborhood to enjoy the holidays than in Pioneer Square. From markets to workshops, from live music to unique art experiences, explore the upcoming holiday event calendar to see festive happenings throughout the month of December.

Whether you’re looking to enjoy classic traditions or discover something new, our lineup of holiday activities offers something for the whole family.

Annual PSQ Ornament Scavenger Hunt through December 20th

The Ornament Scavenger Hunt is back! Every day this month through December 20th, we’re hiding one unique glass ornament (or more!) at one of our retail-level neighborhood businesses, with daily clues posted on PioneerSquare.org/Holidays.

Each ornament is handmade by Glasshouse Studio. Help us spread holiday cheer - only one ornament per person, please. Happy hunting!

You're invited to the Occidental Promenade Open House on Tuesday, December 9th from 5p - 7p at the Rooftop at Railspur (419 Occidental Ave S). Join us to discuss ideas for near-term improvements along Occidental Ave. S. between S. King St. and S. Royal Brougham Way. This project is funded by the Seattle Transportation Levy. The project team includes SDOT, the Alliance, MIG, PSP, and Seattle Parks Foundation.

Join us this month for First Thursday Art Walk!

Explore the vibrant art galleries, venues, markets, and businesses. The art walk is FREE & self-guided and parking is free from 5p - 10p at participating garages provided by Hudson Pacific, Diamond Parking, and Butler Parking (will no longer be available starting January 2026). For more info, please visit www.FirstThursdaySeattle.com or click the link below to see a roundup of upcoming events and a map to help you plan your Art Walk.

Want to receive a once-a-month Art Walk event email? We'll send you a list of upcoming events delivered one week before First Thursday.

Notice: January's First Thursday Art Walk will be moved to the second Thursday of the month on January 8th, 2026 due to the holiday.

New to the Neighborhood: Beguiled Books

This month, we're spotlighting Beguiled Books, Seattle's original romance bookstore dedicated to the genre of love. We're so excited to welcome them into the neighborhood!

After doing pop-up events in Dec '24 and moving to a mobile booktique trailer, Ashley Adair officially opened Beguiled Books, her first brick-and-mortar location, last month. The shop features a wide selection of new and gently used titles, including their best-selling, Blind Date with a Book.

Be sure to stop in to explore the shelves or shop reader-themed gifts, like jewelry, totes, and much more. Follow Beguiled on social media for upcoming book signing events, news, and updates.
