From carriage rides down Broadway to Carol-Oke in the Spanish Ballroom; from a Snow Globe Photo Booth to an appearance from the big jolly fellow himself – the 4th Annual Downtown Tacoma Holiday Haul Crawl has entertainment for youth, and those young at heart, with dozens of Tacoma’s favorite stores, restaurants, and neighbors opening their doors for a holiday celebration.
The Rainiers and Tacoma Defiance are constructing a totally Tacoma winter wonderland at 938 Broadway, where you can take free pictures with Rhubarb the Reindeer, Jack the Bear and Kris Kringle himself. There will be a pop-up shop from the Cheney Stadium Team Store, so stop by and pick out a holiday gift for that special someone. Our doors are open to the public from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, December 14, and admission is FREE. Come on down to 938 Broadway, little elves, and together we’ll celebrate R City and the holiday season.

With all of downtown Tacoma celebrating the 4th Annual Holiday Haul Crawl, there will be plenty to do with the entire family.
- Carol-Oke includes celebrity judges Mayor Victoria Woodards, Evening on KING-TV host Saint Bryan, and our very own beloved mascot, Polar Boy. Swing by McMenamins Spanish Ballroom between 1-3 p.m. and claim the honor of the best holiday singer in Tacoma.
- Ride with Gala Carriage along Broadway in a horse drawn carriage.
- The Holiday Haul Crawl has the giant snow globe photo booth you didn’t know you needed.
- TAM and the Bostwick Café are hosting the Rainbow Center’s gift-wrapping station to save you a step this holiday season.
You’ll want that wrapping station because there are dozens of businesses with specials and events going on all day. The heart of R City is turning into a celebration of the season and Tacoma. The Tacoma Night Market, various antique and vintage shops, the theaters, Broadway, Pacific, Commerce – downtown will be dressed in tinsel, ornaments, and evergreen.
It truly is the most wonderful time of the year in R City.
