A synthetic indoor ice skating rink in New Albany will be open for holiday fun at a new two-day festival this weekend.
Jingle Fest, which will take place inside Silver Street Park at 2043 Silver St., will welcome ice skaters and fans of winter fun from 5 p.m.10 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 10; and noon 8 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 11.
Skating is $5 a person, and the organizers recommend you book a 45-minute time-slot in advance (by calling 812-949-5448 from 9 a.m 5 p.m.) for a max of 3 skaters per party. There will be skates available for rental, but youre also welcome to bring your own.
Walk-up time-slots will also be available; see the Facebook event page for more rules and details.
Whats more, therell also be a different winter celebrity making an appearance each day: on Friday, Santa (6 p.m. 8 p.m.); and on Saturday, Elsa from Frozen (2 p.m. 5 p.m.)
(If you or your kids want to make doubly sure that Santa receives your requests for Christmas gifts, make sure to drop a letter into the Santa Mailbox at the Silver Street Park before you leave. All letters with return addresses will get a reply!)
Beyond that, expect music, crafts, and other fun activities each day. The event page even says that youll have the chance to virtually ride inside Santas sleigh!
