Celebrate with holiday events at Treadwell Arena November 27 & 29

Two annual favorites return as Treadwell Arena hosts Turkey Bowling and Santa Skate over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend—and this year both events are free!

First, lace up your skates and trade in your bowling ball for a frozen turkey on Wednesday, November 27 from 7 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. Enjoy open skate and knock down the most pins to win a turkey to take home! This event is generously sponsored by Juneau-Gastineau Rotary.

Then return to the rink on Friday, November 29, to skate with Santa and his elves from 7 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. This event is generously sponsored by Douglas Fourth of July Committee.

Events include both admission and skate rentals free of charge—just be aware that rental skates are limited and first come, first served.

Already in the holiday mood? Parks & Recreation’s 5th Annual Candy Cane Hunt is just around the corner. This year’s hunt will run from December 3 to 17—stay tuned for more details soon.
