The City of New Rochelle will bring the magic of outdoor skating to Lincoln Park for the mid-winter vacation week, with a giant pop-up rink taking center court. The rink will be open daily, from 12:00pm to 7:00pm for eight days starting Saturday, February 17th and ending Saturday, February 24th. Guests can skate for free with rentals provided at no charge. The first 100 visitors each day will receive a complimentary cup of hot chocolate with entry.
In addition to ice skating in Lincoln Park, starting on Wednesday, February 21st, the Winter Festival will begin. Following a kickoff event at 11:45am where Council Member David Peters and the New Rochelle Community Justice Center will deliver remarks, visitors will be able to shop from a rotating roster of local vendors offering their artisan goods, food and beverages, and more, with three different small businesses spotlighted each day the ice rink is open. Featured local vendors will include Decota Naturals, Savage Custom Crafts, Humble Bumble, Sibalhe Teas, Asantis Jewels, JMckinley Bags, Matrix on the Go, Rays Empanadas, and Taqueria del Valle.
Also on Wednesday, February 21st, the local New Rochelle Community Justice Center will transform the rink into a full-blown Winter Carnival. The Center invites the community to come together and build connections through fun activities such as arcade and carnival games, a bounce house, arts & crafts activities, wellness treatments, and seasonal dining offerings from local vendors and community partners.
The City of New Rochelle and the New Rochelle Community Justice Center invite you to celebrate this year’s mid-winter break at Lincoln Park!
