CultureMap is bringing holiday magic back to downtown Dallas with the return of the CultureMap City Rink<\/a> this winter. The festive ice rink, presented by Fossil and produced in partnership with Downtown Dallas, Inc., will transform Main Street Garden into a winter wonderland complete with twinkling lights, special events, and fun for all ages.<\/p>\n

The dazzling destination debuts November 20, 2026 and runs through January 5, 2027. But the fun starts now, with a special Christmas in July deal you won’t want to miss, plus a sneak peek at this year’s programming.<\/p>\n

New this year, Season Passes offer unlimited admission \u2014 including rentals. We’re celebrating Christmas in July with the special gift of 50% off Season Pass purchases for a limited time. Passes are limited, and prices increase August 17 (to $65), so buy yours now<\/a> for the deal of the season, and then get ready to skate.<\/p>\n

The festivities kick off on opening weekend with the Tree Lighting Celebration on Saturday, November 21. Then, mark your calendars for the Dallas Holiday Parade on Saturday, December 5, a favorite holiday tradition, which passes right by the rink.<\/p>\n

This year, there’s even more to enjoy on and off the ice. Skaters and spectators are in for a special treat at the new rinkside cafe<\/a>, where 1920 Rodeo Cafe will serve up its famous barbecue and Tex-Mex dishes, alongside holiday specials and surprises.<\/p>\n

Plus, the CultureMap City Rink is your perfect place for a holiday happening. Plan a private party<\/a> on the ice for 50 or more guests, with exclusive event planning support, optional catering from the rinkside cafe, and more. Special group rates are available for 10-30 guests and can be booked directly online.<\/p>\n

The CultureMap City Rink, presented by Fossil, will be open Monday-Friday, 4-10 pm; Saturday 10 am-10 pm; and Sunday 10 am-8 pm. Expanded hours during school holidays and some special holiday hours apply. <\/p>\n

Tickets are $18 for all ages, including skate rentals and 75 minutes on the ice. All ticket options are on sale now<\/a>, so select your date and get ready to skate into the holidays at CultureMap City Rink.<\/p>\n
