Every year, towards the end of November, Seattle gears up to spread Christmas cheer throughout the streets of the city. In the morning there will be a Christmas parade featuring an array of floats, marchers and merry-makers. Towards the evening there will be the ceremonial tree lighting of Westlake Center's Holiday Tree followed by a magnificent fireworks celebration. Anyone looking to catch a quick escape before the Christmas holidays should definitely check into the city of Seattle, and take part in their Tree Lighting & Holiday Parade.
