Rowlett, TX – This December, the City of Rowlett transforms into a magical winter wonderland filled with holiday festivities! For the first time, Rowlett is partnering with the Dallas Stars to bring the community an outdoor ice-skating rink featuring real ice.
Conveniently located on Martin Drive between Coyle Street and Main Street, next to Downtown Green, the rink will be open throughout December, offering residents the opportunity to create unforgettable holiday memories. Best of all, the City is providing free admission and skate rentals to ensure everyone can join in on the fun.
The ice-skating rink will debut during Rowlett’s signature Holiday Main Street Fest on December 7 and remain open through December 29. It will also be a highlight of the 12 Days of Christmas, which runs from December 13–24 with daily festive programming.
