I love November because it starts off holiday season and even in October, I start to get a bunch of November notifications in my inbox. We should all sip at least a million pumpkin cream cold brews to ward off any early snow in Seattle and so far we’ve been lucky but it is suddenly a bit more chilly isn’t it?
And as for things to do in November in our city….
Seattle Auto Show November 14-17th
I just updated what I know about the Seattle Auto Show-I have a giveaway on the blog as well as a few details that will be updated after the media preview.
Ballard Blocks: Community Donation Drive November 1-15
It is such a good thing to help our neighbors when we can and Ballard Blocks has a donation drive from November 1-12 where you can stop by between noon and 6pm to help out. This is where I shop often so I find this a really convenient way to give and Ballard Food Bank has a list of items that they really need on the website too.
Wicked at the Paramount Theatre through December 1st
Wicked is so heart-filling and probably my favorite ever musical. I’ve updated details in this review.
Wildlanterns at Woodland Park Zoo November 15-Jan 19 2024
Wildlanterns at Woodland Park Zoo is back again this year (I’ve included a short video ) and tickets are already on sale too. Last year Wildlanterns at the zoo sold out so make sure you get your tickets if you know when you want to go. Wildlanterns runs until January Jan 19th and it’s nice that there are quite a few days to visit-tickets would also make great experience gifts for the holidays too.
Pacific Place The Attitude is Gratitude Event on November 18th
If you’re in downtown Seattle on November 16th you can also stop in at Pacific Place from 2-4pm for a festive free activity. There will be make and take activities: gratitude jars and leaf-printed thank you cards-all the details are in the link.
Julefest at the Nordic Museum November 22-24
Another great reason to be a Nordic Museum member, you can get tickets to Julefest for free. You still need to book them online and non-members can book tickets through the site too. Julesfest is an authentic Nordic holiday experience happening in Ballard November 22-24th
Magic in the Market– November 30th 2024 (this is it’s 29th anniversary!)
Magic in the Market is always such an epic and very Seattle event in the heart of our city in Pike Place Market. This year there will be free Santa photos as well as a chance to get free gift bag with Market tissue paper if you spend $50 in the market while supplies last. You can find more details through the event link. I really loved shopping the handmade craft market last year.
Virginia Mason Hockey Fights Cancer Beanie night at the Seattle Kraken November 20th
The Kraken have a few giveaways for November at their games in Seattle. When they play the Nashville Predators on November 20th they will be giving away Hockey Fights Cancer beanies to everyone in the arena.
Do you know of any other November Seattle events?
I bet you can’t believe it’s already November either. I’ll be slowly populating this list this month and feel free to message or email if you have any events you would like me to include.
And if you are looking forward to December, here are the things you can do in Seattle in December. (if it’s still November when you look they are probably the events from last year but many will happen again around the same time.)
Terumi Pong is a Seattle-based family travel writer and mom of twin teenage boys. She loves coffee and pastries, shopping local and looking for greener ways to live. She is also known as Scout’s mom (Scout is a 5ish pound little black yorkie-poo)
