THE FOLLOWING IS A CITY OF DANVILLE RELEASE
Kick off the New Year with fiery and frosty fun at First Fridays: Fire & Ice on January 2nd from 5–8 PM at the David S. Palmer Arena! Enter through the Box Office starting at 5 PM, and please note the arena’s Clear Bag Policy for all guests.
Little ones ages 7 and under can enjoy free sledding, and everyone is invited to glide across the ice during our free ice-skating sessions. Ice skating will run in five 20-minute sessions throughout the night, with color-coded wristbands assigned to each time slot. Sessions begin at 5:25 PM, with the final group starting at 7:25 PM. Each group will have a 5-minute window beforehand to pick up skates and get laced up before hitting the ice.
Warm up with cozy crafts, hot cocoa and ice cream from the Palmer Arena, and s’mores roasting around the fire while supplies last. Settle in for campfire stories, learn helpful fire safety tips from the Danville Fire Department, and join in playful snowball fights that bring out the kid in everyone!
Plus, don’t miss a special appearance from Princess Elsa, adding an extra touch of enchantment to the night. It’s a perfect winter celebration for families, friends, and anyone looking to start the year with a little fire, a little ice, and a whole lot of fun!
