Coon Rapids Ice Center to Host 'Streaming on Ice' Showcase Celebrating Digital Culture with Local Skaters

Skate enthusiasts and family fun-seekers should mark their calendars for the much-anticipated annual event on the Coon Rapids' cultural calendar. The Coon Rapids Ice Center (CRIC) is gearing up to entertain the community with its "Streaming on Ice" showcase, as the city's official social media pages announced. Performances are set to glide onto the ice on Thursday, April 24, at 6:45 p.m., Friday, April 25, at 7:15 p.m., and Saturday, April 26, at 7:15 p.m. This year's display is a nod to today's digital streaming culture, which promises to merge traditional ice skating flair with modern themes.

According to a recent post by the City of Coon Rapids, MN - Local Government, the skaters set to dazzle are a mix of local talent, representing a diverse range of ages and abilities, all honed at the Skating School at CRIC. Contrary to just showcasing high-level athletes, the event is a platform for skaters at every step of their journey to shine. For those looking to truly immerse themselves in the frosty festivities, ahead-of-time ticket sales are available and slightly cheaper, at $12 for adults and $7 for children, a small savings compared to buying at the door. And if you're toting a tot under four, they can skate by for free, with a paid adult companion.

For community members eager to secure their spots at the ice sideshow, they can get ahead of the game by either clicking on a direct link provided in the social media announcement or heading to the CRIC's website. The event has historically drawn a healthy crowd, and this year’s theme, "Streaming on Ice," is expected to draw in fans of all things skating and streaming alike.

Anticipation is, without a doubt, building as performer lists are finalized and routines polished to perfection. It's an opportunity for skaters to not simply perform but also tell a story on ice that is recognizable to any who's ever whiled away an evening hopping from one streaming service to another. As the weekend draws nearer, CRIC and its band of skaters are set to offer an entertaining distraction that encapsulates the joy of both streaming and skating.
