Get your skates on for an avalanche of fun this winter in Mandurah with the pop-up ice rink returning to the Eastern Foreshore from June 30 to July 16.
Tickets are now on sale for this popular event which is enjoyed by hundreds of locals and visitors each year.
Skating in Mandurah is again set to be a standout of the local winter activity line up as the city prepares for a range of exciting, family friendly activities for all ages and abilities to enjoy during the colder months.
The City of Mandurah has again partnered with Ice Rinks Australia and Visit Mandurah to bring ice skating back to Mandurah this year. As well as the ice rink, there will also be an ice slide, pop-up rides, great entertainment, and delicious food and drinks served at the rink-side The Lodge Bar & Café.
The skating rink is perfect for beginners, and with a little help from the ‘Kanga’ push-a-long skating aids, there’s no reason not to get out on the ice this winter. The rink is also wheelchair accessible, making it an inclusive activity that everyone can enjoy.
If skating isn’t your thing, the city will be buzzing with other free and ticketed events and attractions during winter, including fire shows and live music. The City and local businesses are teaming up to bring the Secret Sounds of the City series back this year, with performance dates throughout June, July and August. These events showcase local bars and restaurants, as well as an array of musical talent including country and western, local acoustic performers and motown.
Mayor Rhys Williams is encouraging everyone to get out and about and join Mandurah’s winter events, and support local businesses during the colder months.
“Our Winter in Mandurah program is designed with something for everyone in mind, and is another way for us to keep enjoying our local cafes, bars and restaurants which are typically a bit quieter during winter,” Mayor Williams said.
“All the fun of ice skating is back this year, so bring your family and friends along. Why not make a whole day or night out of it, with a bite to eat or drink afterwards and live music to enjoy."
“Last winter, close to 15,000 tickets were sold for the ice skating, ice slide and carnival rides, so make sure you grab your tickets and join the fun.”
