SKATES & SOUNDS RETURNS – FEBRUARY 2026
#SkatesAndSounds is back for its seventh season in February 2026, with a stellar lineup of DJs ready to spin the hottest tracks and warm us up!
Every Friday night, the Barbara Ann Scott Ice Trail at College Park transforms into an open-air dancefloor, blending music, skating, and winter vibes in the heart of downtown Toronto. Whether you’re gliding under the lights, dancing on the sidelines, or just here for the energy, this free event series is your invitation to PLAY all winter long.
Join us Fridays in February from 4–8 PM for four themed nights, plus free skate rentals on-site!
