Caroling Groups return for the 38th Annual Great Figgy Pudding Caroling Competition
Caroling groups from different neighborhoods in Washington battled it out last December 1, 2023, at Pike Place Market in Seattle during the 38th annual Great Figgy Puddy Caroling Competition in support of the local food bank and Pike Market Senior Center. An estimated 10,000 attendees were expected to fill the streets of the historic market to spectate the silly, jolly carols of the competing groups. From the jolly ladies of the veterans, the Beaconettes, to the traditional carolers, The Gglo Jinglers, there is no doubt that the Christmas spirit is here."
