Ice on the Landing, presented by Warren & Griffin, announces the opening of the 2024-25 ice skating season on Sunday, Nov. 24, as the centerpiece to the Thanksgiving-themed Chattanooga Market at the First Horizon Pavilion. Celebrating its 10-year anniversary this year, the open-air rink has now expanded its size by 1,400 square feet, providing 140’x50’ of real ice for skaters to enjoy.
Surrounded by numerous holiday craft vendors and eateries during the Thanksgiving-themed Chattanooga Market on Nov. 24, Ice on the Landing will then begin its regular operations with a full schedule of daily ice skating and promotions throughout the season, which extends to Feb. 2, 2025.
Its location at the First Horizon Pavilion provides plentiful parking and a high overhead covering that offers skaters convenience and protection from wet weather.
“We’re excited to offer our Chattanooga Market patrons something special this year – Ice on the Landing," said Melissa Lail, marketing manager for the Chattanooga Market. "Families can enjoy ice skating on Sunday Funday and shopping with our farms and artists for the holidays. We’ll have plenty of food trucks too.”
