Downtown Sacramento Ice Rink
A Sacramento holiday tradition, the Downtown Ice Rink presented by Dignity Health is the perfect place to gather with friends and family to enjoy the holidays.
Ice Skate Under the City Lights
For over 30 years, the Downtown Sacramento Ice Rink has transformed the neighborhood into a winter wonderland. Located in Ali Youssefi Square right outside Golden 1 Center and some of the best restaurants in the city, the rink is the perfect place to spend a winter day. We partner with other local organizations throughout the season to offer discounts and themed activations like craft days, silent disco nights, donation drives, and more. Lace up your skates and get ready to laugh at your falling friends November through January. We’ll see you on the ice!
