DANVILLE — First Fridays will be hosting Fire & Ice from 5-8 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 2 at the David S. Palmer Arena.
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 p.m., with the final group starting at 7:25 p.m. Each group will have a 5-minute window beforehand to pick up skates and get laced up before hitting the ice.
In addition to the skating, individuals can warm up with cozy crafts, hot cocoa and ice cream from the Palmer Arena, and s’mores roasting around the fire while supplies last. There will also be campfire stories, learn helpful fire safety tips from the Danville Fire Department, and join in some playful snowball fights that will bring out the kid in everyone.
There will also be a special appearance from Princess Elsa. It promises to be a perfect winter celebration for families, friends and anyone looking to start the year with a little fire, a little ice and whole lot of fun.
Participants should enter through the Palmer Arena Box Office starting at 5 p.m. and everyone is reminded the arena has a “Clear Bag Policy” for all guests.
