Join us for a festive open house at Hollinshead Park. Enjoy a free tour and homemade holiday treats.

The Pavilion’s ice rink will celebrate the coming of the shortest day of the year with a Winter Solstice Celebration on Friday, December 16 from 6:00 to 8:30 pm. With festivities to welcome winter’s delights, ice skaters who bring a canned food item to donate to NeighborImpact Food Bank will enjoy a special $6 admission price including skate rental. It’s a wonderful party with lots of treats, smiles and a performance from Bend Ice Figure Skating Club.
