SUMMARY:Tree Lighting Ceremony at Pioneer Courthouse Square
DESCRIPTION:Downtown's holiday season officially starts the night after Thanksgiving\, when Santa flips the switch on the city tree in Pioneer Courthouse Square and nearly 10\,000 colored lights come on. This is the 42nd year. Pink Martini's Thomas Lauderdale leads the community sing-along with local singers and choirs\, so come ready to belt out the classics with a few thousand neighbors. The tree\, donated by Stimson Lumber\, stays lit through the season. Arrive early for a spot near the steps.

SUMMARY:Snowflake Lane at The Bellevue Collection
DESCRIPTION:Every night at 7 p.m. from the day after Thanksgiving through Christmas Eve\, Bellevue Way between NE 4th and NE 8th turns into a short holiday parade: toy drummers\, dancers\, lighted floats\, music and machine-made snow drifting down over the crowd. With free admission and free parking in the Bellevue Collection garages\, it makes an easy weeknight outing with kids. Claim a curb spot early on weekends\, when the sidewalks fill. Santa holds court for photos inside Bellevue Square during the same run\, and the Downtown Park ice rink is a few blocks away.

SUMMARY:Garden d'Lights
DESCRIPTION:Bellevue Botanical Garden's holiday display shapes its lights into the garden itself: glowing flowers\, plants and small critters tucked into the beds along the paths\, with a scavenger-hunt map for kids who want to find them all. Entry is by half-hour timed ticket\, starting at 4:30 p.m. The first two weeks have $5 Monday-through-Thursday nights\, and Dec. 8 is a sensory-friendly night with no live music and half the usual crowd. The garden lot is small and costs $5\, so many visitors park free at Wilburton Hill Park\, a quarter mile east.

SUMMARY:The Lights of Christmas at Warm Beach Camp
DESCRIPTION:For its 30th season\, the Northwest's big Christmas light festival at Warm Beach Camp\, north of Marysville near Stanwood\, becomes mainly a walking event. Guests stroll at their own pace past more than a million lights\, with a Christmas market\, food\, costumed characters\, mini-golf\, a light maze and train rides along the way. It runs on select nights only\, and every ticket must be bought online ahead with limited entries per hour. Three Thursdays are kept as drive-thru nights for anyone who'd rather stay warm in the car\, though those skip the activity stops.

SUMMARY:Redmond Lights
DESCRIPTION:Redmond's winter festival is more art show than Christmas display: a month of illuminated installations by local and regional artists in Downtown Park and Overlake's Esterra Park. This year's pieces include Ai-Chun Huang's walk-through woven mountains\, an interactive infinity mirror\, a glowing pop-art salute to Redmond and a light piece driven by the city's streams and trails. The kickoff on Saturday\, Dec. 5\, from 4 to 8 p.m. adds snow every 15 minutes\, a silent disco\, a kids' light fashion show and a lantern promenade. Everything is free.

SUMMARY:Peacock Lane Holiday Lights
DESCRIPTION:One block of Tudor-style houses in Southeast Portland has gone all-out for the holidays for generations\, and the whole city still turns up to walk it. Residents light up December 15 through 31\, starting at 6 p.m. The first two nights\, December 15 and 16\, are pedestrian-only\, which is the most relaxed way to see it. A free cocoa booth opens at 6 p.m. from December 15 to 24\, while supplies last. Park a few blocks away and walk in.

SUMMARY:The Lights of Christmas at Warm Beach Camp
DESCRIPTION:For its 30th season\, the Northwest's big Christmas light festival at Warm Beach Camp\, north of Marysville near Stanwood\, becomes mainly a walking event. Guests stroll at their own pace past more than a million lights\, with a Christmas market\, food\, costumed characters\, mini-golf\, a light maze and train rides along the way. It runs on select nights only\, and every ticket must be bought online ahead with limited entries per hour. Three Thursdays are kept as drive-thru nights for anyone who'd rather stay warm in the car\, though those skip the activity stops.

SUMMARY:Great Figgy Pudding Caroling Competition
DESCRIPTION:For two hours on a Friday night\, caroling groups fan out across a ten-block radius of downtown and sing in front of shops\, restaurants and hotels\, while passersby vote for their favorites. The top three groups then return to Pioneer Courthouse Square for a final carol-off. It's the 12th year of Portland's version\, free to watch\, and a fun way to wander downtown in December with a hot drink in hand. Choirs\, office teams and ugly-sweater crews can register to compete.

SUMMARY:Christmas Ship Grand Finale Bonfire at Gas Works Park
DESCRIPTION:The Christmas Ship season ends on Lake Union\, and the last shoreline concert of the year lands at Gas Works Park. The final sailing's follow boats gather around the ship off the old gasworks towers while a choir sings to the crowd on the hill\, and there's a public lighting and bonfire along the shore. The performance is scheduled for 9:10 to 9:30 p.m.\, so it's a late one; earlier that evening the same sailing stops at Fritz Hedges Waterway Park in Portage Bay. Bring a headlamp for the walk back to the car.
