Winterfest ice skating & events return to Fountains at Gateway

As the holiday season approaches, the second annual Winterfest at Fountains at Gateway brings outdoor ice skating and holiday activities to Fountains Plaza, November 17 to January 21.

Winterfest features one of the few outdoor ice skating rinks in the Nashville-Murfreesboro-Franklin area with ice skating for all ages as well as concerts, themed skate nights, Christmas caroling and pictures with Santa. Festive lights and holiday decorations adorn the central plaza to create a magical experience for all ages.

Special events include an Exhibition Skate by the Scott Hamilton Club, November 30; Pictures with Santa, December 1; and Ball Brothers Concert, December 6.

We were thrilled to open Rutherford County’s first outdoor ice skating rink last year, and we welcomed more than 15,000 people to the inaugural Winterfest. Requests to stay open beyond the New Year holiday led us to extend Winterfest to January 21, for a total of more than nine weeks this season.

We are grateful to the Murfreesboro community for its support of this annual festival!
