The Holiday Ice Rink at Pershing Square returned downtown and will be open now through January 11, 2026. Ice skaters braved the elements during the opening ceremonies on November 20. Members of the Los Angeles Ice Theater performed in the rain, and Johanny Velaquez of Air Entertainment flipped through air between ramps.
Grand Arts Holiday Jazz Carolers from Ramon C. Cortines School of Visual and Performing Arts entertained the crowd with holiday inspired music. Pershing Square’s official opening celebration in downtown Los Angeles marks the start of SoCal’s holiday season.
