Hangar Skate

Now in its fourth year, Hangar Skate transforms YZD Plaza into an enchanted winter forest of light, music, and motion. Events like this give people a chance to experience YZD today—turning the site into a place to gather, play, and connect, while offering a first look at how it will grow into a welcoming community for everyone.

 

Enjoy free outdoor skating on a 6,000 sq. ft. refrigerated rink, savour local eats and light bites, and take in DJs and drop-in arts programming inside the YZD Experience Centre.
