The annual holiday celebration of Snowflake Lane takes place along the sidewalks of Bellevue Way & NE 8th in downtown Bellevue, just a 15-minute drive from Seattle. This 20-minute parade sparkles with colors and lights. Drummers, live toy soldiers, music and holiday characters start marching on Bellevue Way and NE 8th Street outside Bellevue Square.
