Families gather at Winterfest, enjoying the outdoor ice skating rink under the festive lights.
Winterfest is back in San Antonio, transforming The Rock at La Cantera into a festive wonderland from November 25, 2024, to January 6, 2025. This event features an outdoor synthetic ice skating rink, holiday markets, meet-and-greet with Santa, delicious s’mores, and classic Christmas movie screenings. With activities for all ages, it promises to be a memorable experience filled with joy and holiday spirit.
Get ready, San Antonio! The holiday season is here, and it’s looking more magical than ever with the arrival of Winterfest. This enchanting event is taking over The Rock at La Cantera, located on the Northwest Side of our beloved city, and it’s sure to put everyone in the joyful holiday spirit. Mark your calendars because Winterfest is running from November 25, 2024, to January 6, 2025!
This festive gathering is packed with exciting activities to enjoy with friends and family. A highlight of Winterfest is the outdoor ice skating rink. It’s not just any rink; this one features a synthetic ice surface designed to mimic the real deal! Just imagine gliding effortlessly across a smooth, slick surface that feels just like real ice!
The innovative ice rink is temperature-controlled, which is a fantastic perk for South Texas where the holiday temperatures can sometimes sizzle in the 80s. So whether it’s a chilly night or a warm day, you can strap on those skates and enjoy a good time!
Skating on this fantastic rink won’t cost you an arm and a leg. While entry into Frost Plaza is free, skate rentals are just $15. A quick heads up—participants will need to sign a waiver before hitting the ice. And don’t worry, if it’s bustling, there’s no strict time limit on your skating. Just enjoy the ride and your time on the ice!
A convenient mini hut located in Frost Plaza makes it easy for you to rent your skates and get into the holiday spirit. Just think about the joy of skating under twinkling lights and the warmth of shared laughter with loved ones!
What’s a holiday event without cozy treats? Winterfest not only brings you the thrill of skating but also offers delicious fire s’mores to warm your heart and belly should you need a sweet boost. And to elevate the holiday vibe even more, classic Christmas movies will be shown on the big screen in Frost Plaza! It’s a great way to enjoy the season with family and friends, all while sipping on hot cocoa!
The jolly old man himself will be available for meet-and-greets! Kids (and the young at heart) can take a moment to share their holiday wishes and create lasting memories. As if that isn’t enough to get you in the spirit, don’t forget to check out the stunning sparkling Christmas tree and various holiday markets set up around the venue. Browse and shop for unique gifts, decorations, and festive treats to bring a little extra cheer into your home this season!
It’s worth noting that this year brings an exciting surge in holiday activities around San Antonio, especially with new rinks and events popping up throughout the city! Winterfest is kicking things up a notch, showcasing the community’s desire to connect and engage in festive fun together.
The synthetic ice rink at Winterfest was created by Glice North America, known for their environmentally conscious rinks that boast a lifespan of 24 years. It took Frost Plaza officials just one day to set up this impressive attraction, demonstrating their dedication to making this event truly special for all who attend.
So, gather your friends and family and head on over to Winterfest for a holiday extravaganza you won’t want to miss! With an abundance of festive activities and the chance to cool off on the synthetic ice, there’s something for everyone this holiday season in San Antonio!
