Join us in making another magical season possible.

Partner with CARD to bring the Chico Ice Rink to our community, and put your business in the middle of one of downtown Chico's most anticipated holiday traditions.

Each winter, the Chico Ice Rink transforms Downtown City Plaza into a festive destination where families gather, connect, businesses celebrate, and skaters of all ages make memories on the ice.

For local businesses and organizations, sponsorship is more than an opportunity for visibility, it's a chance to connect your brand with a beloved community experience.

Why Sponsor the Chico Ice Rink?

The Chico Ice Rink is one of CARD’s most visible seasonal attractions and a centerpiece of downtown Chico’s holiday festivities.

Operating seven days a week, weather permitting, from November through January, the rink attracts visitors from throughout Butte County and beyond. Throughout the season, thousands of people visit the rink to skate, attend special events, celebrate with friends and family, participate in field trips, enjoy cabana rentals, and experience the holiday atmosphere downtown.

When you sponsor the rink, your business becomes part of that experience.

Contact publicrelations@chicorec.gov or (530) 895-4711 to become a partner & join our ice rink family! Fill out this form if interested! or email publicrelations@chicorec.gov
