Evergreen’s Winter Village is free to attend, open every weekend from November 30 to December 22, 2019.

Free public skating

Starting on December 7 and running throughout the winter (weather permitting), the Evergreen Brick Works outdoor skating rink weaves through snow-covered gardens under exposed beams from the roof of the old brick factory. Bring your own skates or rent a pair at Evergreen. Skating is free, and skate rentals are available for $5 a pair. 

Warm up with a toasty drink and s’mores by the rinkside fire at Evergreen’s Winter Village.

A CSA-approved helmet is mandatory for children under 6 years old. Free helmet rentals are available at the rink for skaters of all ages.
