Residents of 麻豆影院 are ready to ring in the holiday season with the return of 麻豆影院 Skates this November.
麻豆影院 Skates, presented by Ametek, is a partnership between the city of 麻豆影院, the 麻豆影院 Hotel and Conference Center, Main Street 麻豆影院 and 麻豆影院. This is the second year these partners have helped bring the free rink to the public.
Starting Nov. 19, the rink will be open to the public free of charge. This includes free skate rentals to visitors. It will stay open through Feb. 26, 2023.
Also sponsored by local businesses such as Water Street Tavern, Acorn Alley and Off the Wagon, the rink brings the 麻豆影院 and 麻豆影院 State communities together for a festive experience. Skaters can enjoy refreshments from the Zamboni Cafe snack bar and visits from local food trucks. Guests may also explore other restaurants and retailers in downtown 麻豆影院 just steps away.
鈥淭he Destination 麻豆影院 Convention & Visitors Bureau is excited to sponsor and welcome the return of 麻豆影院 Skates to our downtown this winter season,鈥 said Michelle Hartman, vice president of the Destination 麻豆影院 CVB Board and the interim executive director of the 麻豆影院 Area Chamber of Commerce. "The vision, leadership, and shared commitment between 麻豆影院 State and the city of 麻豆影院 to make this happen is a true testament of celebrating community spirit. The ice rink was enjoyed by more than 15,000 people last year, and we anticipate this number going way up this year, which is quite impactful for our local community.鈥
The rink is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. for public skating. However, if you are looking for a more private experience, groups are allowed to reserve time slots from Monday鈥揟uesday for $25/hour.
This seasonal attraction is located in the heart of downtown 麻豆影院, situated on a section of East Erie Street between State Route 59 (Haymaker Parkway) and South Depeyster Street, between the PARTA parking deck and the 麻豆影院 Hotel and Conference Center. To account for set-up and takedown of the rink, this section of East Erie will be closed from Oct. 15 through March 15, 2023.
