Latest Events in Seattle(November Updated)

This December, Seattle Balloon Company will once again illuminate the Green Lake shoreline, adding a vibrant touch to the annual "Path of Lights" celebration. This will be the fifth year that illuminated balloons have joined the "Path of Lights," although weather conditions sometimes prevent them from taking flight. This free community event will take place on Saturday, December 13, 2025. The balloons are expected to inflate around 4:30 p.m. and remain illuminated until 5:30 p.m. (weather permitting), with the event concluding at 7:30 p.m. Every December, thousands of Seattleites stroll along the Green Lake Loop Trail, enjoying the breathtaking view of the 2.8-mile-long trail illuminated by candlelight after nightfall, celebrating the Green Lake Lights Festival. This year, thanks to a partnership with the Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation, Seattle Balloon Company will showcase five full-size balloons. Each balloon is approximately eight stories tall. Visitors can stroll among the shimmering hot air balloons, meet the pilots, and learn about the principles of flight. These enormous balloons are equipped with propane burners that emit rhythmic glows. The event usually also includes complimentary refreshments and live music. The Seattle Balloon Company's latest event in downtown Seattle in June attracted over 15,000 people! If you missed that event, the Green Lake Balloon Festival is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the balloons, especially with children. The Green Lake Balloon Festival offers a similar visual feast, but earlier and more family-friendly.
