UKIAH, CA., 11/26/25 – A favorite holiday tradition returns Monday when Ukiah on Ice opens. 

The city’s outdoor ice-skating rink will be open daily through Jan. 11, including Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. 

Skating fees are $15 per person, with an optional four-punch pass available for $40. Concession stands will offer hot chocolate, sandwiches and cotton candy. 

Located at Alex Thomas Plaza, the annual event dates back more than a decade, when the city launched it as a family-friendly attraction to draw visitors to downtown Ukiah.
