CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A holiday tradition is back in the Coastal Bend after the pandemic shut most events down last holiday season.
Enjoy the sights and sounds of the holidays as Coastal Christmas returns to the American Bank Center from Sunday, Dec. 19 to Friday, Dec. 24.
“After a year hiatus, we are excited to bring the magic of indoor skating back to the community. We look forward to creating great memories for our guests when they join us at the American Bank Center,” says Paul Turner, interim General Manager.
Ice Skating, Sensory Friendly Session, Santa photo opportunities, s’mores by the fire pits and DJ nights will all be a part of the events excitement.
Since 2018, The American Bank Center in downtown Corpus Christi has delighted the community with its holiday-themed full ice-skating rink. From families to friends and couples to colleagues, everyone can enjoy ice skating in Corpus Christi’s favorite downtown venue surrounded by festive lights and the sights and sounds of the season.
This year, a new sensory friendly ice-skating session will be held on Sunday, December 19th from 10am-10:45am before public doors open. This session will feature no lights, no sounds, and no crowds for sensory-sensitive kids. Learn more HERE.
The popular late night skate will be held weeknights between Monday, December 20th – Thursday, December 23rd from 8pm–10pm. Each late night skate will feature a new DJ for your musical enjoyment.
