Get your skates on for Spring into Horsham Festival
Published on 19 August 2022
Horsham will come alive for the September school holidays when a pop-up ice skating rink headlines the city’s inaugural Spring into Horsham Festival.
Locals and visitors can bring the whole family, lace up their skates and take to the ice or check out the many fun, affordable and free activities happening in central Horsham.
The seven-day festival will run from Monday 19 September to Sunday 25 September, 10am to 8pm every day at Roberts Place.
Horsham Rural City Council is running the event with the help of Victorian Government funding.
Attendees get a real ice-skating experience in an authentic rink, with the hire of skates included. Inexperienced skaters have the option of hiring a kanga aid.
As well as ice skating, there are plans for live music, a gaming event and delicious food and drinks served up beside the rink.
Mayor Robyn Gulline said Council had successfully applied for funding to hold the festival via the Victorian Government.
“The Spring into Horsham Festival will be a tourism drawcard for Horsham and is timed to coincide with the Horsham Agricultural Show,” she said.
“Council has kept the ice skating ticket prices low and we hope to see people come from far and wide to have a go and experience our city at its vibrant best.
“We have asked our community what they would like to see, and we heard that fun, family friendly, events were the priority,” Cr Gulline said.
