35th Annual Great Figgy Pudding Caroling Night

Friday, December 3 from 6pm – 8pm

The Pike Market Senior Center and Food Bank are celebrating 35 years of its annual Figgy Pudding fundraising caroling competition this year! Enjoy an evening of holiday music at the Pike Market Senior Center’s annual Figgy Pudding Caroling Night. Figgy is the annual fundraising event for the Pike Market Senior Center and since its inception, this event has raised over $1 Million for the Pike Place Market’s Senior Center and Food Bank. Traditionally, this event is held in Westlake Center, but this year seven caroling teams will be performing at the Market, under the Public Market Clock & Sign.

This heart-warming tradition attracts nearly 10,000 people every year to enjoy holiday music and has become a holiday tradition for many Seattle locals and families to celebrate the season and community. This is an enchanting event for all ages. Volunteers and Figgy carolers team up to support the Senior Center and Food Bank as they help low-income adults and families experiencing food insecurity, inadequate nutrition, homelessness, social isolation, and lack of opportunity.
