Glide Into Winter Fun: Last Chance to Skate at Veterans Plaza!

Silver Spring Ice Skating Pavilion

Don't Miss Out! Skate at the Annual Ice-Skating Pavilion in Veterans Plaza Before It Ends!

As winter wanes and the season draws to a close, there's still time to lace up your skates and glide into the fun at the Silver Spring Ice Skating Pavilion! Nestled in the heart of downtown Silver Spring, Veterans Plaza is not just a hub for major festivals and community gatherings, but also home to a beloved winter tradition that brings joy to families and friends alike.

Our outdoor Ice Rink season, which began in mid-October, has been a hit with locals and visitors alike. But time is running out to experience the magic of skating beneath the open sky! Mark your calendars because the Ice Rink season concludes at the end March this year.

While you're here, why not make a day of it? Saturdays are even more special with our weekly Famers Market, a vibrant gathering that celebrates local produce, artisans, and community spirit. As you glide around the rink, you can also peruse the market stalls, sampling fresh goodies and soaking in the lively atmosphere. 

Veterans Plaza isn't just a winter wonderland. From May to October, we host an array of major festivals that showcase diverse cultures and cuisines, fostering connections and creating unforgettable experiences. Whether it's the International Food and Craft Festival, the Hey Cousin Culture Festival, or the Afro-Latino Festival, there's always something exciting happening here. For ideas and things to do, visit: www.silverspringdowntown.com or www.visitmontgomery.com.

Join us as we bid farewell to another fantastic Ice Rink season and celebrate the spirit of community in downtown Silver Spring. Bring your friends, bring your family, and make memories that will last a lifetime. But hurry, because the Silver Spring Ice Skating Pavilion awaits, and time is slipping away!

Don't miss your chance to glide, twirl, and laugh on the ice. See you at Veterans Plaza before the season ends!
