Witness the rare occurrence of snow in the Holy City and watch as snow magically falls on Market Street Circle blanketing the holiday trees in a lovely sheet of winter white. Enjoy cocoa and sweet treats available for purchase from the Gingerbread House, as well as a cash bar with seasonal cocktails like Spiked Cocoa and Cider, and a Candy Cane Martini.
There is no snow on December 1, due to a private event.
Complimentary. Reservations are required for 2023. Rain or shine event.
Hotel overnight guests may enter via the Lobby. All other guests should queue on Market Street. Snow queue starts at 5pm, 6pm, and 7pm, at the entrance to the Market Street Circle. Gates open 15 minutes in advance of the snowfall. Walk-ins welcome as space allows.
