“We’re thrilled to have Winter Skate back at Patriot Place with a brand-new concept and location to go along with a fresh sheet of ice this winter,” said Brian Earley, Vice President and General Manager of Patriot Place. “With a scenic skating trail and professionally maintained surface, the reimagined Winter Skate will have a new look but the same timeless tradition of outdoor ice skating with family and friends.
Pat Patriot and Slyde will officially open the brand-new rink for the season on Thursday afternoon, kicking off festivities that include live music and entertainment, ticket and gift card giveaways, hot chocolate and seasonal treats, and fun surprises for all ages. Additionally, the first 20 people in attendance who check in on the Patriot Place Advantage App will skate for free.
