FOXBOROUGH, MA — Patriot Place is bringing the timeless New England tradition of outdoor ice skating back to the shopping, dining and entertainment destination for the 14th winter, as Winter Skate returns for the season with a grand opening celebration from 4-8 p.m. on Friday.

For the second year, Winter Skate will be in its new South Marketplace location (across from Trader Joe’s and Restoration Hardware Outlet), complete with a skating path and twinkling lights.

Guests can skate and celebrate the return of this seasonal favorite this Friday evening with grand opening festivities including music, entertainment, ticket and gift card giveaways, cozy hot chocolate, seasonal treats, special appearances and fun surprises for skaters of all ages.

The professionally maintained ice surface is specifically designed for recreational skating, with plenty of room to accommodate beginners and experts alike, complete with an observation deck for non-skaters. Skate rentals, concessions and bathrooms are available on site and parking is free.

Patriot Place also encourages guests to spread the joy this holiday season by bringing a new or gently used coat or hat/glove set to donate to Cradles to Crayons, an organization dedicated to providing families in need with winter essentials.
