Bellevue Magic Season, which plays host to Bellevue holiday events annually begins this weekend and goes until January 4th. This is the 24th season of Downtown Bellevue transforming into a holiday destination. This year, activities look different to stay safe during the pandemic but still allows us to enjoy the holiday spirit.
Snowflake Lane:

Snowflake Lane, presented by The Bellevue Collection is reimagined this year for your safety. Every night along Bellevue Way, listen to holiday music and see twinkling lights while driving or walking through the street between Bellevue Square and Lincoln Square from NE 4th to NE 8th Streets. Please wear a mask and remember to social distance.
Downtown Holiday Lights:

This year, Downtown Bellevue will be illuminated in more holiday lights. The entire half-mile loop of the Bellevue Downtown Park will be lit up. 2,100+ lights will line the perimeter of the park’s walking circle.
Drive or walk along Old Bellevue’s Main Street to see wrapped trees and lit outdoor patios filled with lights.
