The official grand opening ceremony of the Kristi Yamaguchi Holiday Ice Rink is set to take place on Friday night.

Housed in San Ramon’s City Center Bishop Ranch, the rink is slightly bigger as it returns for its fifth year in a row.

Bishop Ranch leaders say anticipation for ice skating this holiday season is building. Leena Wienckowski, assistant general manager of City Center Bishop Ranch, said that the ice rink has become a staple in the community.

“It’s something that resonates with San Ramon. And a lot of our community, our members rely on it. They look forward to it. And a lot of the kids and families love to come and hang out here,” Wienckowski said. “It brings a special event to the center and everyone enjoys it.”
