  • On-site Activations & Display Opportunities

 

Ice rinks and holiday celebrations can be a valuable form for advertising your brand or business. If you are looking for a great way to get your business noticed outside the traditional means, ice skating advertising works.  It’s also budget-friendly.

Did you know the medium household income for ice skating fans is $90,000, with 34% having an annual houshold income of $100,000 or more and 52% at $75,000 or more. – According to an ESPN Sports Poll.

According to Media Life Magazine “Ice Rinks have become a valuable form of affordable “out of home advertising.” Many companies are taking advantage or rink ads including: McDonalds, Great Clips, Dairy Queen, and more.”

Guests will also come to experience the 33rd annual Lighting of the Bay Celebration, happening nightly from November 24, 2023 – January 1, 2024.  After skating, guests will linger at our holiday village around the ice rink with our Fire & Ice Festival theme. Be a part of the holiday season festivities.

Fire & Ice Festival

The ice rink will be open during Newport Dunes’ Lighting of the Bay which sets the bay aglow with floating holiday lights. This family-friendly attraction will open during our 33rd Annual Lighting of the Bay Celebration on Friday, November 24. The ice rink will end January 1, 2024.

This ice rink will be one of the biggest in Orange County at 82 feet x 50 feet, drawing skaters from Newport Beach and surrounding areas. The ice rink will be set up so skaters can enjoy the festive lights while skating after dusk. We will also be offering corporate events and holiday parties which can include skating.

We are creating a holiday village around the ice rink to include:

Igloo Bar offering Festive Cocktails & Beverages

Fire pits & S'more Kits

Fire Dancers and Live Entertainment

33rd Annual Lighting of the Bay

Inflatable Garden for Family Picture-taking

Concessions
