Winterfest Brings Ice Rink to Depot Plaza Sunday
Second day of weekend-long holiday event features a 1,200-square foot ice skating rink, along with Santa, treats and a tree lighting ceremony.
Mill Valley gets as close as it ever will to the frozen tundra Sunday as the two-day event drops an ice skating rink onto for the day.
On the heels of Saturday’s day-long music event, Sunday features a lineup more in line with traditional Winterfest celebrations, although the snow of past years has been ditched in favor of ice skating.
A 1,200-square-foot synthetic ice skating rink is being constructed on Depot Plaza early Sunday – the parking lot will be closed all day – and residents can ice skate for free from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., according to event organizer Ken Brooks. Rental skates are available at no charge, compliments of the Mill Valley Chamber of Commerce, Piazza D’Angelo’s, Bank of Marin and local merchants.
