MAGICAL MEMORIES

           IN THE MAKING

While it’s a season for list making, baking, cooking and decorating, the traditions of the Bellevue Magic Season offer the perfect recipe for memory making. The Eastside’s favorite collection of holiday events returns to Downtown Bellevue from November 28 through January 11.

Lace up your skates and glide in the Downtown Park at the festive Group Health Ice Arena, the region’s only outdoor holiday ice-skating experience. Sharpen your skills with free skating lessons, or beat the rush and enjoy the best holiday bargain in Bellevue—Free Skate Mondays, compliments of Bank of America.

Join wide-eyed revelers of all ages at Snowflake Lane, where snow falls nightly as drummers, carolers, music and a dazzling light show thrill the crowd. This holiday spectacular along Bellevue Way and NE 8th Street at The Bellevue Collection is a must-see experience on multiple nights, from different vantage points.

Stroll with awe through Bellevue’s nationally recognized holiday display—Garden d’Lights at the Bellevue Botanical Garden. Volunteers spend countless hours creating a magical wonderland with more than 500,000 lights that’s sure to brighten your evening.

Set a date with a magical holiday performance at the Theatre at Meydenbauer Center. Meydenbauer once again presents a premier line-up of seasonal music, dance and dramatic productions by top regional perf-ormance groups (see list below).

With activities for the young and young at heart set among world-class shopping, entertainment and dining options, Downtown Bellevue and the Bellevue Magic Season is the ideal destination for an even brighter, more memorable holiday season. Let the magic begin!
