Kirkland Holiday Lights Celebration Returns In December

KIRKLAND, WA — Kirkland families can take part in some Christmas cheer next weekend on the Google campus, where the company will be activating its choreographed Christmas light and music display along the Cross Kirkland Corridor and lighting the tree for the holidays.

Visitors can grab complimentary hot chocolate and cookies and listen to the carolers at Feriton Spur Park, then take in the lights and head over to the petting zoo and photo booth. The fun begins Friday, Dec. 2, at 5 p.m.

Carolers will serenade the crowd at 5:15 p.m. before the main program at 5:30 p.m., when Kirkland Mayor Penny Sweet will activate thousands of LED lights that Google engineers programmed specially for the holidays. The holiday lights show will run every night between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. through early January.

Parking options are limited near the event, and organizers encourage visitors to consider taking public transportation, walking or biking to the festivities.

The new and improved Feriton Spur Park reopened in July, with a larger trail, pickleball court, amphitheater, splash area and urban farm.
