“iSKATE Capitola” Glides into California’s Oldest Seaside Resort Town
The open-air skating rink will be made of synthetic ice designed to give the same feeling as skating on real ice without the water waste and energy costs of conventional ice rinks. No ice, no Zamboni! The rink will be 30 feet X 40 feet and can hold a maximum of 40 skaters per session.
“iSKATE Capitola” gives visitors something new and exciting to do over Winter Break, extending the warm, fuzzy feelings of the season into January, emphasis on warm. Folks from out of town can still travel light and leave the hats, gloves, and ski jackets at home.
Bringing this event to our village during the holiday season seemed like the perfect way to celebrate our amazing community! iSKATE Capitola is a community building effort and we hope that locals flock to Capitola Village during this amazing time of year.”
BIA board-member and Shadowbrook owner, Ted Burke, says, “Capitola is a very special place year-round but is especially so during the off-season winter holidays.
Forty-nine well-decorated local shops offer a wide variety of unique gift items and thirty-one hospitality-focused restaurants make small-town friendly Capitola a popular dining destination before and after shopping and ice-skating activities. Capitola visitors also enjoy periods of free holiday parking in the Village.”
“iSKATE Capitola” will run three skating sessions per day from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Sunday. Admission is $10 and ice skate rentals will be available for $5, or visitors may bring their own.
