Hometown Holidays
Mark your calendars for a season of holiday cheer!
HOMETOWN HOLIDAYS 2026
The holiday season in the Junction kicks off with a full lineup of ways to shop, gather, and celebrate locally. We’ll start with Shop Small on Saturday, November 28, followed by Shop Late evenings on December 3 and 10, leading into one of West Seattle’s favorite traditions—Tree Lighting and Night Market.
Join us on Friday, December 5 for the Hometown Holidays Tree Lighting & Night Market, featuring the official tree lighting, a festive holiday night market, seasonal music performances, family-friendly activities, and a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere. It’s an easygoing evening to stroll the Junction, support local businesses, and spend time with friends, family, and neighbors.
