All the Seattle Christmas Markets & Holiday Craft Fairs Happening in 2024

It’s my favorite time of year: Seattle Christmas markets season!

We have so many creative Pacific Northwest makers. I love supporting them by shopping local year round, but the holidays are the best time to discover their work thanks to the seemingly endless amount of holiday craft shows and markets we have in the Seattle area.

A few years ago, I started putting all of the Seattle Christmas markets on my Seattle events calendar (nerd alert!). I decided to put it in an article format one year and, after that, it became tradition to update it annually with all the holiday craft shows, markets, and fairs in Seattle metro area. Seriously, this list has them all.

So mark your calendars people. Here’s the ultimate (borderline obnoxiously long) list of all the Seattle-area holiday craft fairs and maker pop-ups happening this year.
