The drop-in Pier 62 gathering pairs a wood-burning firepit with pier games and hot beverages from a local vendor on Saturdays and Sundays, 3–6 p.m., October 31, 2026–January 31, 2027, weather permitting.

All times are local to the venue · America/Los Angeles
Visitors can come to gather around a wood-burning fire, get a hot beverage from a local vendor or play pier games beside the water. The afternoon is informal, but the firepit rules are firm: food, including S’mores, must stay off the fire.
Friends of Waterfront Park describes the socials as an informal gathering for locals and visitors, with no timed activities listed. That makes it possible to stop by during the three-hour window rather than plan around a performance or session.
The event listing promises pier games but does not name which ones will be available. Pier 62’s general visitor information gives chess and checkers as examples of pier games; it does not confirm the lineup for a particular Firepit Social. The local beverage vendor and drink prices are also not specified.

The organizer’s safety rules prohibit heating or cooking any food over the fire, including S’mores. Visitors should also stay off the gravel border around the firepit and leave pier furniture where it is instead of moving it to the fire.

Saturdays and Sundays, 3–6 p.m., from October 31, 2026, through January 31, 2027. The event is weather permitting; check the organizer’s event schedule or social channels for cancellation or postponement updates.

The event is free, and the listing does not state a ticket or booking requirement. Hot beverages are offered by a local vendor, but whether drinks cost extra and their prices are not stated.
Waterfront Park describes the park as ADA accessible and lists wheelchair-accessible seating and gender-neutral, ADA-accessible restrooms at Pier 62. Sensory kits are available at all Friends events on request from the Friends of Waterfront Park Info Table; listed items include noise-reducing headphones, ear plugs, blankets, scented and weighted neck wraps, and fidget toys.
Other temporary resources—such as a sensory tent, assisted listening devices, or courtesy wheelchairs—are offered at select events or by request, but are not confirmed for this Firepit Social. For an accommodation request, contact Friends of Waterfront Park in advance; the organizer recommends ideally allowing 7–10 days. The accessibility page lists 253-656-6782 for questions.

The event is at Pier 62, on Alaskan Way adjacent to Pine Street in Seattle. Waterfront Park identifies bus, light rail, ferry and water taxi as ways to reach the park. Its transit guide lists bus approaches including Routes 2, 10 and 49, the E Line and the C Line. Stop examples include 3rd Avenue and Pike Street for Routes 2 and the E Line, and Pine Street and 4th Avenue for Route 49.
The guide also identifies University Street Station as a Link Light Rail access point via Harbor Steps. Washington State Ferries from Bainbridge Island or Bremerton arrive at Colman Dock; the Water Taxi from West Seattle or Vashon Island arrives at Pier 50. The Waterfront Shuttle is seasonal, running May through September, so it does not overlap this event’s October–January dates.

The Union Street pedestrian bridge and Harbor Steps also have elevator access, according to the park’s visitor guide.
Paid street parking is available along Alaskan Way and adjacent streets, with garages along the waterfront and downtown. The visitor guide says street parking is free on Sundays and federal holidays; spaces may be limited during peak times.
