This winter, Chase Center’s Thrive City will host numerous festive events, including a tree lighting ceremony, a Hanukkah celebration, and even free ice skating. Thrive City is a large complex surrounding Chase Center that frequently hosts events and is home to restaurants and other businesses. Every winter, the area hosts a Winter Wonderland featuring multiple holiday events.
Free ice skating is one of the more popular pop-ups that happens every year, and it’s back for 2025. The free skating will be available the last week of December, from December 23 through December 30, except on Christmas Day. The rink is first-come, first-served, but if you pre-register, you will receive priority admission. We recommend RSVPing in advance, as only a limited number of walk-up spots will be available. Skating sessions are 20 to 30 minutes long, and expect other people to be enjoying the rink at the same time. You can also expect complimentary rental skates (though a $5 donation to the Golden State Community Foundation is encouraged).
