Kristi Yamaguchi officially opens the ice rink for the season with some spectacular young talent ice skating demos. She's known to grace the ice, as well, with some of her award-winning moves that garnered Yamaguchi Olympic medals as two-time world champion. Special Event tickets are $30 and must be purchased online.

The only outdoor ice rink in the Tri Valley features more than 4,100 square feet of ice - which in 2023 now adds an additional 15% of ice surface for skating!  A portion of all ticket sales benefit Yamaguchi's Always Dream Foundation. Yamaguchi calls the East Bay home and has raised her children there. The ice rink is named after Kristi Yamaguchi - 1992 Olympic gold medal winner in women's figure skating.

She kicks off the grand opening with a few words. She has opened other similar outdoor seasonal ice skating rinks and her name has appeared on Bay Area rinks such as San Jose's Downtown Ice, which did not return in 2022-2023 holiday season, much to the dismay and disappointment of many who have made visits to these rinks a family tradition.

Kristi Yamaguchi Holiday Ice Rink is operated by Ice-America, a licensed trademark of Seaside Ice, LLC, is a creator, producer, and operator of outdoor, temporary ice skating rinks, and an ice event and television production group. The company was formed by another award-winning skater, Scott Williams, who builds and operates seasonal ice rinks throughout the world, and also produces ice skating shows for entertainment, travel and television.

In 2022 Williams also created ice rinks in Huntington Beach and several cities in California.
