SKATE in the City is returning again in 2015. Ticket sales to the highly anticipated winter event will go live on Monday 1 June.

Now in its fifth consecutive year, Canberra’s only open air ice rink will take up residence in Garema Place as part of a dazzling winter celebration from Friday 26 June to Sunday 26 July.

Hosted by Canberra CBD Limited on behalf of the commercial property owners in the City and Braddon, this month long event will once again feature activities for the whole family including cultural events, professional performances, DJ dance parties, dress up nights, and a snow box for the younger children.

“It is the perfect event for kids during the July school holidays,” said Jane Easthope, CEO of Canberra CBD Limited, “Food and drink is available at the surrounding restaurants and cafes, with the World Curry Festival in the City providing added atmosphere from 11 to 12 July.”

Two types of sessions will be on offer during this period, 90 minute sessions including a professional show by experienced skaters, and 60 minute general skate sessions.

Tickets can be purchased for $20 for a general skate session, $15 for those under 15, $50 for a family of four, and $25 for skate and show. Children under 5 are free and the popular safety Penguins will be back for hire at $8.
