Walnut Creek, Calif.-- Walnut Creek rarely sees snow, and ice is not prevalent in this East Bay San Francisco location. But once a year the ice bed is set, the freezing units turned on and the rink opens around early November for an ice skating extravaganza. Walnut Creek on Ice is the annual event that makes dreams come true.

 

There's something special about chilly days, cool nights and events such as skating on ice. Location: Civic Park, Civic Drive and North Broadway, Walnut Creek, Ca. iceskatewalnutcreek.com  Usually event dates mid-November to mid or late January. Check website for updates each year.

 

From tiny tots to senior adults, local residents to tourists, Walnut Creek proudly hosts this once-a-year event that gets people out in the fresh air, gliding on ice. You don't have to know how to ice skate at the rink. The levels of skating range from complete beginner to some fancy steppers. Some of the local ice skate competitors come out for the opening for festive moves to wow the crowd.

 

Local council members from Walnut Creek and of course, the mayor, come out to cut a ribbon on the grand opening of the big event, which delights the community to have as an attraction tied to other holiday spirit events such as a tree lighting.

 

When visiting Walnut Creek, you'll discover the city is an interesting place, and quite enjoyable during the holidays. Shopping includes privately owned, small business, chain stores and a large selection of great restaurants.
