A festive holiday ice rink in Downtown Dallas with twinkling lights, themed events, and skating for all ages, featuring appearances by Santa and Mrs. Claus.
The CultureMap City Rink returns to Main Street Garden in Downtown Dallas on November 20, 2026, turning the park into a winter destination of twinkling lights, themed events, and a Christmas tree. It's a seasonal ice rink open to all ages, with Santa and Mrs. Claus making appearances throughout the run. The rink is presented by Fossil and produced in partnership with Downtown Dallas, Inc., and is managed by Ice Rink Events, the nation's leading designer and operator of seasonal ice rinks, and powered by CultureMap.
If you're planning to spend more than one afternoon there, the rinkside cafe, 1920 Rodeo Cafe, serves local BBQ and Tex-Mex alongside holiday specials. The venue also offers group packages and private holiday parties, so it works as a spot for a larger gathering as much as a casual skate. And if you're around in December, the Dallas Holiday Parade passes right by the rink.
