EAST LANSING, Mich. — A brief program celebrating the opening of East Lansing’s pop up ice skating rink will take place on Friday, Feb. 12 at 4:30 p.m. in Valley Court Park, 280 Valley Court.

Remarks will be made by East Lansing City Councilmember Erik Altmann, East Lansing Downtown Development Authority (DDA) Chairperson Peter Dewan and East Lansing Downtown Management Board (DMB) Chairperson Jeff Kusler. Media and community members are welcome to attend.

The rink will be free and open to the general public for two weeks, Feb. 11-Feb. 25. Hours of operation will be 3-9 p.m., weather permitting. In the event of warmer weather, community members are encouraged to visit www.downtownel.com to see if the rink is closed or open for the day.
