Holiday Carousel in Westlake Park

Calendar/Event Details

Dark winter days are no match for the lights and merriment of DSA’s iconic Holiday Carousel, spinning in Westlake Park for the 31st year. Give it a whirl for a suggested donation of $4.

Each ride benefits DSA’s programming and management of Occidental Square and Westlake Park. We bring activities and events to the parks year-round as part of a 5-year agreement with the City of Seattle. More information is available here.

After you hop off the carousel, make sure to check out the Holiday Market just a few steps away. Local artisans are offering their handcrafted wares to downtown shoppers for the third year as part of a collaboration between DSA and Urban Craft Uprising.
