Lace up your skates and take to the ice in the heart of Ballarat’s CBD as part of the Ballarat Winter Festival.
After its enormous success in previous years, a popular ice skating rink is making a comeback to help you make the most of winter.
Armstrong Street South will be transformed into a winter wonderland from 24 June through to 16 July thanks to the team at Stars On Ice, giving locals and tourists alike the chance to skate along the ice, with or without a skating aid to keep you upright.
Here’s where to go ice skating across the region
Returning as part of the Ballarat Winter Festival (alongside the famed Winter Wonderlights, Knights of Fire and more), there will be great tunes and disco lights in the all-weather marquee, as well as child-friendly, sensory sessions with no music or flashing lights and restricted numbers and disco sessions on Friday and Saturday nights.
There will also be Bollywood on Ice sessions featuring DJ Bobby M mixing the hottest Bollywood tunes, and Latin Fiesta on Ice sessions with Live DJ ‘Vico’ mixing the hottest Latin tunes.
There’s really nothing like gliding elegantly over a brightly-lit smooth ice rink (when you’re able to finally let go of the side barrier, of course!), and watching kids navigate their way around is classic entertainment.
So unless you’ve got plans to hit up the snowy mountains in the region, this is the next best thing (and entirely more affordable) you can get up to when it gets colder.
Go on, get your skates on because tickets are now on sale for Ballarat’s pop-up ice skating rink.
