PhinneyWood Winter Festival

45 Years of Community & Creativity!

Join us at the Phinney Center in Seattle for the 45th anniversary of the PhinneyWood Winter Festival—an iconic event that has brought together artisans, neighbors, and holiday cheer for nearly half a century. This beloved festival features over 140 talented makers, carefully selected by a jury, showcasing a diverse array of specialty goods crafted with care by local artists. As you wander through our historic buildings, you’ll discover everything from stunning jewelry and unique pottery to original artwork, home goods, apparel, gifts for the home cook, and delightful treats for yourself or loved ones—there’s something for everyone!

New for our 45th Year: Preview Night!
Want to avoid the crowds and enjoy a more intimate shopping experience? Join us for our exclusive Preview Night on Friday, December 5th from 5–8 PM. With limited tickets available, you’ll have first access to the festival’s incredible offerings while contributing even more towards supporting the PNA’s community programs. VIP general admission tickets are $25, and $20 for PNA members—your ticket helps fund essential neighborhood initiatives while giving you a head start on the holiday magic.

The Winter Festival is more than just a marketplace—it’s a celebration of community spirit and support. By participating, you’re helping to fund vital PNA nonprofit programs, including hot meals for neighbors, services at the Greenwood Senior Center, memory-loss support, children’s activities, the tool lending library, and a variety of community projects, events, and educational opportunities.

As part of our longstanding traditions, don’t forget to contribute to the annual Food Drive hosted by FamilyWorks. Bring non-perishable food items to donate and help spread holiday cheer to those in need. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we collected over 700 lbs of food last year—let’s make this milestone year even bigger!
