LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bai Holiday Ice Rink Pershing Square returns to downtown Los Angeles opening Thursday, November 15, 2018 through Sunday, January 21, 2018.
For 21 years, open seasonally, The Bai Holiday Ice Rink Pershing Square has brought winter fun to sunny Los Angeles. At 7,200 square feet, it is the city's largest outdoor rink, offering visitors professional-quality real ice for skating and entertainment, and welcoming more than 54,000 skaters and 450,000 spectators annually. The rink fosters community while embracing winter fitness and fun.
The beloved recreational landmark will kick-off its 21st anniversary season with a festive series of free community and special events, starting with the annual Icebreaker Opening Celebration on Thursday, November 15 at 11:00am. This year's event features a number from Wicked with skaters choreographed to the soundtrack, impressive skate performances, and special guests. After the literal "icebreaking" ceremony, where a large ice sculpture is shattered, The Bai Holiday Ice Rink Pershing Square's first skaters will be underserved children from the Los Angeles communities.
Every Wednesday will be dedicated to Wicked and named Wicked Wednesdays. Ice rink lights will be predominantly green and every third song played will be from Wicked cast album.
