Ice skating returns to Old Town Temecula for 2024 holiday season
Posted on by
There aren’t many opportunities to ice skate outdoors in Southern California, but Temecula on Ice offers that in Old Town Temecula each year.
Temecula on Ice returned this week with a Friday night, Dec. 13 celebration, kicking off the holiday season. The ice skating rink set up at Town Square Park, 41000 Main St., brings family holiday fun under the glow of the sun during the day, and the twinkling lights in the evening, a city news release says.
A “dedicated radio station playing holiday favorites” is also part of the fun, the release says.
