Holiday Ice Skating Returns November 17 in Downtown Bellevue
The Bellevue Downtown Ice Rink, presented by Symetra, welcomes skaters starting November 17, 2023, at 3:30 p.m., marking the return of this cherished holiday tradition. The rink will operate for 60 days until January 15, 2024, offering over 9,000 square feet of real ice in a covered facility, ensuring skating is available regardless of weather. In addition to themed nights and on-site concessions, visitors can take advantage of free skate lessons from Microsoft on select evenings. Mike Ogliore from the Bellevue Downtown Association highlighted the rink as a community hub for holiday festivities. Beyond skating, Downtown Bellevue features additional holiday activities, including the Garden d’Lights at the Bellevue Botanical Garden and performances at the Meydenbauer Center Theatre. Advance ticket purchases are encouraged due to limited walk-up availability. The event is supported by local partners, including Amazon and the City of Bellevue, fostering community engagement and holiday spirit.
