The Ice District’s Winter SoltsICE event series is kicking off on December 23.

It is going to be 75’x75’, and will be Oilers-themed! Not only that, there will be multiple photo opportunities, a snow slide, and a locker room.
“Winter adventure awaits and there is Snow Way Out!” states Ice District.
Earlier this month, OEG Sports & Entertainment announced a new Fan Park in ICE District that would “create a vibrant multi-use space to host a wide variety of public events, activities and live entertainment.”
The new Fan Park will be located on the parcel of land immediately east of Rogers Place between 102 Street and 101 Street.
“Upon completion, the Fan Park will feature a large, fenced, programmable space, art installations and greenery—all designed to accommodate festivals, sports and a variety of other events that celebrate the uniqueness of Oil Country, its citizens and Downtown Edmonton,” stated a release. “From public events, exhibitions and live entertainment, to youth hockey programming on portable outdoor rinks in the winter and ball hockey in the spring and summer, the Fan Park will be a 12-months-a-year, programmable space that provides additional opportunities for outdoor entertainment and activities in the downtown core.”
At the time, they stated that construction is underway with plans to host the first event in the new Fan Park this month.
Snow Way Out opens on December 23 and tickets go on sale on Monday, December 12.
When: December 23rd, 2022 to January 1st, 2023
A bittersweet celebration.
