Snowflake Lane Returns to Bellevue

Snowflake Lane, a beloved Christmas tradition in the heart of Downtown Bellevue, is in its 19th year of enchantment.

Prepare to be dazzled by a splendid array of sixteen floats adorned with dancers, drummers, and whimsical characters like snowmen and penguins! This extraordinary spectacle is a fusion of holiday performance, melodic symphonies, and a captivating parade that can be enjoyed from any vantage point," exclaimed Jennifer Leavitt, Vice President of Marketing Bellevue Collection.

No matter where you position yourself along the street, the performers seamlessly rotate, ensuring that everyone experiences the same breathtaking show from every angle.

"The magic unfolds along Bellevue Way, between Bellevue Square and Lincoln Square, stretching from Northeast 4th to Northeast 8th. Be sure to arrive early, as the show's immense popularity demands an early presence. It's not a show to casually stroll into mere minutes before it begins," Leavitt advised.

Such is the allure of Snowflake Lane that hundreds of people line the curbside every night. Mall traffic slows to a crawl for 23 minutes, so securing a prime spot is essential. Although the show is brief, lasting only 23 minutes, it is a delightful spectacle that will captivate you throughout its entirety.

"Every night, the sky is blanketed with snow, not once but twice. It is an extraordinary experience. We toil tirelessly all year round to bring this magic to life. The show's origins revolve around the mesmerizing beats of drummers, and as its popularity grew, it blossomed with the addition of enchanting characters. The princesses are particularly adored, alongside polar bears, Rudolph, penguins, and, of course, Santa, who graces us with his presence every night atop a magnificent float," Leavitt shared.

Snowflake Lane offers something enchanting for everyone. You have until Christmas Eve to witness this wondrous spectacle in person, with the show commencing nightly at 7 p.m.

Furthermore, every Wednesday and Thursday until December 21st, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., you can seize the opportunity to capture a cherished moment with your favorite Snowflake Lane characters at the Bellevue Place Wintergarden!

And don't forget, Santa himself awaits your visit at the Bellevue Place Wintergarden, conveniently located near the Hyatt!
