Celebrate the beginning of the holiday season Nov. 22 and 23 as Ice on the Landing partners with the Chattanooga Market's Holiday Market -- kicking off the skating season and wrapping up the Market season in one festive weekend at the First Horizon Pavilion.
The ice rink will follow the same hours as the Chattanooga Market that weekend from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on Sunday. Ice on the Landing will then re-open on Tuesday to begin its full 10-week season of skating through Feb. 1, 2026.
This marks Ice on the Landing's 11th year of offering outdoor holiday ice skating in Chattanooga, providing 140'x50' of real ice for skaters to enjoy. During its opening weekend, the rink will serve as the centerpiece to over 150 vendors, original artisans and food trucks, including all the regular favorites, plus plenty of hot chocolate and smores stations.
While the Chattanooga Market is free to attend, fees do apply for ice skating. Ticket pricing for ice skating remains at $12 for children aged 12 and under, and $14 for all others. These prices include skates and a 60-minute skate session. Online reservations are encouraged to ensure your skate time at www.iceonthelanding.com.
Officials said, "New this year, Ice on the Landing is excited to introduce ice skating lessons through the ISI Ice Skating Program, the nation's original learn-to-skate system that has helped more than 10 million people discover the joy of ice skating since 1959. Offered for all ages and abilities, these skating lessons teach basic balance and movement to Pre-Alpha though Delta for developing forward, backward and turning skills on the ice. Lessons at Ice on the Landing will be offered on Saturday mornings and Mondays, with private or group lessons."

Ice on the Landing's location at the First Horizon Pavilion provides plentiful parking and a high overhead covering that offers skaters convenience and protection from wet weather.
An ongoing schedule of special activities, music and promotions will keep the rink lively including the popular weekly "Giveback Day" program, during which Ice on the Landing partners with various local not-for-profits to share 20 percent of its skating revenue from 5-9 p.m.
Regular food options on site will include the Cocoa Cabin, including a seasonal drink menu, burgers and snacks, Chick-fil-A, cotton candy and kettle corn on many dates through the schedule.
In addition to the skating, enjoy an on-site Big Wheel Course, a "Chill Zone" with seating, tables, television screens and fire pits. Games such as corn hole and Connect Four will also be a regular part of the fun at the pavilion.
Birthday skating parties and other parties will be popular offerings at Ice on the Landing, as well as season passes and gift cards. Look for tickets to be on sale beginning this week for "Cookie Making with Mrs. Claus on Dec. 20 and 21. Other weekend promotions and activities will keep the atmosphere lively and entertaining as Ice on the Landing teams up with community partners such as the YMCA and the Chattanooga Public Library, and the popular "Rink In the New Year" New Year's Eve Party will again be offered as a great date or family option for ringing in 2026.
