Beginning Friday, November 20 and lasting through February 15, 2021, the Great Lawn at Sweetland Amphitheatre will host a covered 5,500 square foot open-air ice-skating rink provided and operated by Sweetland Amphitheatre.
“We are excited to open Sweetland on Ice in beautiful downtown LaGrange for another year. This year we are doing our best to provide outdoor entertainment in a safe atmosphere by requiring face masks and limiting our capacity to only 200 people on the rink at a time, “ says Amanda Sugermeyer from Sweetland Amphitheatre. “The rink will also provide a healthy and safe outdoor activity and bring added spirit to the holiday season in LaGrange.”
The mask requirement at Sweetland is a precautionary measure to continue to go above and beyond the CDC’s required safety standards and to further help limit the spread of COVID-19. Staff will continue to place an emphasis on wiping down handles, surfaces, tables, doors, and all common areas.
“I applaud the city staff working so hard to try and provide Sweetland on Ice this year. I know people are eager to enjoy this outdoor activity but with Covid, the city staff has been focused on safety and they will be following CDC guidelines and social distancing protocols,” said LaGrange Mayor Jim Thornton. “I hope people will be able to experience the venue but also appreciate everyone’s compliance with the Covid safety rules.”
Friday’s ceremony will feature ice skating performances from the Columbus Figure Skating Academy and local skating legend Myrtice Adcock, known for ice skating on the Lafayette Fountain in 1970. To watch the ceremony live go to www.facebook.com/LGTV.org.
Bring your family and friends to this winter wonderland and enjoy holiday decorations, a spectator section with heaters to enjoy the ice-skating action and affordable concessions.

– Parents, guests, and ice skaters may remove mask to eat and drink.
– Mask must be worn when walking around the facility.

The mask requirement is a precautionary measure to continue to go above and beyond the CDC’s required safety standards, and to further help limit the spread of COVID-19. Our team will continue to place an emphasis on wiping down handles, surfaces, tables, doors, and all common areas.
