Free Snowflake Lane Christmas Parade In Bellevue – Greater Seattle On The Cheap

Since 2005, Snowflake Lane has strived to be the region’s most festive free holiday show. Presented by The Bellevue Collection, it has become one of the Pacific Northwest’s favorite holiday traditions. The Snowflake Lane parade runs nightly from the day after Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve. Join the festivities every night on the sidewalks between Bellevue Square and Lincoln Square.

During the holiday parade, visitors experience the wonder of falling snow on Bellevue Way, along with dazzling lights, festive music, and a parade featuring toy drummers, dancers, and holiday floats.

Parking is free in any of the mall garages at Bellevue Square, Bellevue Place, and Lincoln Square. The show begins nightly at 7 pm, but plan to arrive early to allow time to park and then find a spot on the sidewalks of Bellevue Way to enjoy the show. More info: Parking – The Bellevue Collection

2021 Snowflake Lane

Snowflake Lane runs from Friday, November 26 through Friday, December 24, 2021 at 7PM. Join the festivities on the Bellevue Way sidewalks from NE 4th to NE 8th Streets.

After the adjustments made in 2020, Snowflake Lane will return in 2021 to the parade most people know and love–with a few adjustments. Although the entertainers will not interact with attendees like years past, there will be plenty of holiday cheer for adults and children alike with a focus on the parade of holiday floats and, of course, the snow!
