The Holiday Ice Rink Pershing Square returns to downtown Los Angeles this winter, open from Thursday, November 21, 2024 to Sunday, January 12, 2025. The annual Opening Celebration takes place on Thursday evening, November 21, along with the annual holiday tree lighting ceremony in Pershing Square.

Open seasonally, The Holiday Ice Rink Pershing Square has brought winter fun to sunny Los Angeles for more than 25 years. At 7,200 square feet, it is the city’s largest outdoor rink, offering visitors professional-quality ice for skating and entertainment, welcoming more than 45,000 skaters and 221,000 spectators annually. The rink fosters community, while embracing winter fitness and fun. This year’s beneficiary is once again the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation & Parks. Sponsors include Wicked the Broadway Musical, DTLA Alliance, KUSC, Metro and Metrolink.

“Whether you are a Los Angeles resident or simply visiting for the holiday season, the Holiday Ice Rink Pershing Square is an absolute must when it comes to embracing winter in Los Angeles,” says Willy Bietak, president of Los Angeles-based Willy Bietak Productions.
