Event History

Event Highlights - 2023 SEASON

For 27 years Rady Children's Hospital-SD Ice Rink has been providing seasonal outdoor family fun for San Diego. It started with a vision to bring an outdoor ice rink to San Diego and raise money for kids with cancer. In partnership with Rady Children's Hospital-SD Auxiliary, ARTS DISTRICT Liberty Station and San Diego Ice Arena we are able to provide this event each year. We had over 40,000 skaters in 2022 and have raised over 2 million dollars for the Thriving After Cancer Program at Rady Children's Hospital-SD.
