Celebrate Queen Anne: Upcoming Community Events + Why Your Membership Matters

Queen Anne comes alive in the fall and early winter—neighbors on the sidewalks, lights in the trees, music in the plaza, and storefronts buzzing. Below are the next community events you won’t want to miss, plus why joining (or renewing!) your Queen Anne Chamber of Commerce membership to help keep these traditions thriving.

Holiday Tree Lighting

Each year the QA Chamber brings cheer to QA Ave and surrounding business district areas by adding white sparkling lights to the Ave. Adding sparkle and safety on our winter nights, allows for festive shopping, eating, sharing a beverage at our local shops, restaurants & bars.

This is made possible through donations from our business and local community members. We invite you to help us keep the tradition alive and make a donation.

Bring the kids in costume and stroll the Ave for treats from participating merchants—safe, family-friendly fun right in the heart of the neighborhood.
