WinterSkate Tree Lighting Celebration
Wells Fargo WinterSkate’s grand opening starts at 4:30 pm on Saturday and features: skating exhibitions, entertainment, tree-lighting ceremony, fireworks, and more!
During the tree lighting ceremony, cast members from Ordway’s production of Cinderella will delight guests with holiday music. Visitors can also enjoy music from Saint Paul Hotel’s It’s A Wonderful Life ~ A Live Radio Play, Zack Dyer, a McNally Smith graduate, and a fun performance by the Starettes. Children will be invited to take their picture with Santa in front of the holiday tree. Rice Park, one of the oldest parks in the country, will feature special holiday décor including two 10-foot-tall classic Nutcrackers and two 12-foot-tall angel sculptures, several large wrapped gifts and glittering lit archways and trees.
Kids can experience Lowe’s Santa’s Workshop & Macy’s and Make-A-Wish Letters to Santa inside Landmark Center.
Skating at the rink is FREE. Skate rental is $2 per person. Receive free skate rental for you and your immediate family by showing your Wells Fargo check card or credit card. Other Wells Fargo accounts, documentation, or correspondence are not accepted for free skate rental.
The rink is at Landmark Plaza, adjacent to Rice Park in downtown Saint Paul at the corner of West 5th and Market Streets.
