Christmas in Fall City starts early with a holiday market, tree lighting and festive gathering, Saturday, Dec. 3.

The 12th annual Fall City Arts Holiday Market is 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Chief Kanim Middle School Commons, 32627 S.E. Redmond-Fall City Road.

The Market is a good place to shop for handmade items and unusual crafts and garden art. You can also pick up fresh wreaths, swags and poinsettias. You can also find unique Fall City Historical Society collector’s items such as their new Hop Shed beverage glass.

The Fall City Days annual school music program and tree lighting festival is 4 to 5 p.m. at  the Fall City Elementary Gymnasium, 33314 S.E. 42nd Place. Enjoy the sounds of the elementary school chorus and the Chief Kanim Middle School Chamber Ensembles, and bring a camera, as Santa will be visiting with his sleigh. Following the music, carol your way down to Olive Taylor Quigley park and countdown to light the trees.

Fall City Arts hosts an Art Park Gathering before and after the ceremony at the corner of Highway 202 and 335th Pl. S.E. Enjoy caroling, decorations, lights and a bonfire while sipping a cup of cocoa or cider.
