The Washington Harbour Presents Winter on the Water

The Washington Harbour presents Winter on the Water, a celebration of Washington, D.C.’s newest and largest outdoor ice skating rink, on Saturday, December 1, 2012 from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. The Washington Harbour Ice Rink will be inaugurated with a fete of continuous strolling entertainers, ice skating performances, choral singers, a St. Lucia procession, and creative lighting effects, along with food and beverages at Washington Harbour restaurants, including the new Farmers Fishers Bakers. Winter on the Water at the Washington Harbour is located on the Potomac River waterfront in Georgetown.

Winter on the Water complements the Swedish Christmas Bazaar being held at the neighboring House of Sweden from 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. The Swedish choir will present a St. Lucia procession from the bazaar into the Washington Harbour plaza at 5:15 p.m., then perform carols at Winter on the Water.

At 11,800 square feet, the new Washington Harbour Ice Rink is DC’s largest outdoor ice skating venue, and is also larger than New York City’s Rockefeller Center rink.
